Purpose and goal

*Maskinöversatt* The purpose was to explore how we can reduce involuntary loneliness among the elderly while creating meaningful work for long-term job seekers and new arrivals. The goal was to make the concept less dependent on us entrepreneurs by developing and implementing an internal structure that holds for upscaling but also creates an efficient external communication. By having an ongoing collaboration project, we were able to measure the results of the work we made. We could use insights to develop eg agreements, digital platform, clearer marketing and document for upscaling
