This project aims to create intergenerational spaces where people of different ages can come together and aims to reduce loneliness and provide opportunities for diverse perspectives and continuity. Through this project, SMCAT will work with cultural organizations, host workshops, design and install benches that facilitate conversation and connect residents to community resources.
