Project Overview: This projects aim is to identify practical solutions that can give a sense of usefulness and purpose to the Neapolitan grandparents, restoring their active role in society. The proposals should not only aim to improve their emotional well-being, but also to foster their connection with the younger generations and the social fabric.
Our Design Approach: We thought different workshops and activities where the elderly could act as mentors or team partners, and children as learners. The program will reach the elderly of Napoli through various community touch-points. Collaborations with local elderly centers and cultural associations will ensure direct engagement, while churches will serve as trusted hubs for announcements.
In these activities, we can provide different kits tailored to the specific needs of the event, ensuring they have the necessary gadgets and making it easier for them to engage with the activities. We aim to focus on designing Gardening Workshop as one of these potential kits while also developing the system described above as part of our project.
This logo appears to represent a society dedicated to fostering inter-generational knowledge exchange between Neapolitan (or Naples-based) elderly individuals and children. The central motif of the logo features a house-like structure, symbolizing community or a shared space, with figures of different ages inside, representing people of all generations.

The circular arrows suggest a cycle of exchange and continuity, emphasizing the flow of wisdom, skills, and traditions across generations. Workshops likely serve as the primary means to facilitate this transfer, promoting mutual understanding and the preservation of cultural heritage. The acronym “NESIS” may stand for the organization’s core values or mission, though further clarification of its meaning would strengthen the explanation.
Flyer:
The eye-catching flyers (A4 size) will be distributed in key gathering spots, such as piazzas, markets, and community centers, inviting elders to share their knowledge and connect with younger generations through this rewarding initiative.
