Favora studio is a group of students oriented to social innovation and strategic design. Our work is born from the restlessness, from our experiences and relationships with our social environment. In this case, in our families there is the presence of elderly people and it is common to see in our city elderly people living in bad conditions, with very little social interaction .

This is a service that supports the exchange of knowledge with the community to prevent abandonment.
While more people age, more people end up alone. Their families don’t take care of them and end up living in deplorable conditions and in complete abandonment.
When the most intimate social relationships are broken, the neighborhood is a community that can provide the necessary support for senior people.
In order to empower themselves, seniors give to others the knowledge acquired throughout his life giving a solidarity exchange that generates closeness among the members of a community, stimulating the older adult confidence and his neighbors to avoid long-term abandonment.
This platform works by registering and identifying seniors who are interested in sharing their knowledge and meet them with their neighbors interested in learning about a topic or skills, to bring closer and stronger relationships between neighbors as a support network and the elderly.
