Both groups often live side by side rather than with each other. There is a lack of simple and secure access to facilitate genuine encounters and personal exchange.

‍

The plan is to create a simple and secure platform in the form of an app or website. Users can create verified profiles, find suitable contacts in their area, and easily arrange informal meetings. The focus is on the exchange of language, experiences, and everyday life.

‍

The idea strengthens social cohesion in Münster, a city with many young people with a migration background and, at the same time, many elderly people. It brings both groups together, promotes language practice, exchange, and mutual understanding. In this way, Münster can become a model for lived intercultural and intergenerational community.

‍

The funding of 5,000 euros will be used for the development of a simple web prototype, basic security measures, and a small pilot phase in Münster. This allows the idea to be tested in practice and made visible.
