New neighbours: belonging across generations
What is this challenge about?
How can a neighbourhood help newcomers and long-term residents, younger and older people, get to know one another and work together? Living nearby does not automatically create belonging. Explore a small shared activity, skill exchange, neighbourhood stories or introductions to local resources. Start with one building, street or voluntary group, including people who are less often heard. Look for lasting contact, participation across groups and new cooperation, rather than attendance at a single event alone.
From observation to a proposal
Start with a real situation in your neighbourhood or daily journey. Describe who experiences the problem, how your proposal would help, and who needs to be involved in making it happen.
Understand the need
Where does it happen, and who is affected? Listen to the people involved.
Start small and clearly
Outline a small pilot with clear resources, partners and a timeframe.
Make the impact measurable
How will you know the experience has improved? Define a measure and a way to gather feedback.
