Cultural Strategies launched a Call for Projects aimed at public bodies, cultural institutions, associations that had developed cultural projects dedicated to the elderly in order to develop and share best practices between professionals from Italy and the Netherlands. More than 130 high-quality projects joined the call. As a result of the call, 12 entities were selected to participate in an online day of meetings on the topic.
The mapping was finally published online, for each of these projects a brief introduction is offered and is explained what could be observed by comparing the projects with each other.
