Maps, Apps and Storytelling
This document discusses using maps, apps, and storytelling to address social isolation in the digital age at both the local and national levels. It proposes developing a local "Living Labs kit" for co-designing solutions and a national learning network to share knowledge. Maps can show who has resources, how social networks change with age, and how people can connect to community assets. The document outlines piloting these approaches in Croydon and designing an open-source kit for other areas. It also suggests AAA take the lead in promoting cross-topic collaboration and innovation to benefit all areas of aging through an asset map, learning network, and experimenting with new methods.
