Summary

Loneliness affects both teenagers and seniors, yet opportunities for meaningful intergenerational connections remain limited. BRIDGE (Building Relationships Intergenerationally and Designing Guided Events) seeks to close this gap by fostering relationships through structured, interactive events.

Our project organizes recurring team-building activities, such as story exchanges, collaborative art projects, and interactive games, designed to encourage shared experiences. Through qualitative interviews, participant observations, and pre- and post-event surveys, we will assess changes in social connectedness and refine our approach.

Ultimately, we hope to strengthen community ties and create a sense of sense of belonging amongst all participants.
