Connecting our Communities, Sharing our Memories

我们的项目连接我们的社区，分享我们的记忆，将人们聚集在共同的兴趣、联系和活动周围，使用讲故事的方式通过围绕共同的兴趣和背景建立友谊来减少社会孤立。将帮助参与者以他们自己的方式表达他们的兴趣和激情，并提示联系和匹配，支持人们通过平台以及现实世界的活动和活动进行联系。它将为人们提供一个简单而安全的地方，让人们围绕一个由讲故事的主题联系在一起的共同兴趣建立现有的和新的关系和联系。它将是一个安全的地方，人们可以使用一个简单的、基于应用程序的简单环境来表达自己，扩大他们的友谊和熟人圈，所有人都可以访问，并且可以自我维持/可扩展。它将被设计为自我指导和简单使用，以讲故事为核心。该项目将建立在现有成功的社会企业模式的基础上，并开发一种简单且易于扩展的商业模式，基于与例如社会房东的合作伙伴关系。它建立在Book of You CIC现有优势和经验的基础上，以一个以人为中心的设计项目为基础，研究和制作一个平台的原型，建立一个商业模型，并了解在健康老龄化和改善老年人社会关系的背景下的好处。

Our project Connecting our Communities, Sharing our Memories, brings people together around common interests, connections and activities, using storytelling approaches to reduce social isolation through making friendships around common interests and background.It will help participants to express their interests and passions in their own way, and prompt connections and matches, supporting people to connect through the platform as well as at real world events and activities as well. It will provide a simple and safe place for people to build existing and new relationships and connections around common interests linked by a 'storytelling' theme.It will be a safe place for people to express themselves and extend their friendship and acquaintanceship circles using a simple, private app-based environment accessible to all and self-sustaining/ scalable. It will be designed to be self-directing and simple to use, with storytelling at its heart.The project will build on an existing successful social enterprise model and develop a simple and easily scalable commercial model based on partnership with, for example, social landlords. It builds on Book of You CIC's existing strengths and experience, and is based on a human-centred design project to research and prototype a platform, build a commericial model, and understand the benefits in the context of Healthy Ageing and improving social connections for older people.
