Pluralisation of transitions

5. Good practices

Within the project we have identified many good practices. Read their presentations and consider:

  • Is there a place in your community where men can meet and participate in various activities (similarly to the Men's Sheds project)? If it does not, do you think that men in your community have enough opportunities to share knowledge and experience? Could a similar project like Men's Sheds be implemented in your community?
  • Do you think that you could conduct a "time bank project" in your community? Is a similar project already implemented in your community?
  • Find examples of the economic productivity of older adults in your community and find out how these activities affect the wider social sphere.
  • Consider where and when the work, knowledge, skills and practices / work of men could benefit and be appreciated by the community during the third and fourth lifetime.
