Community Conversations with Friends & Co.
May 23 @ 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
Gammelgården Museum is partnering with Friends & Co. to offer a series of three sessions about growing older, social connections, and how to combat isolation and loneliness. You can attend one session or all three. In addition to meaningful conversations with others who are 50+ years old, there will be food and fun! Call 612-746-0725 to reserve your spot at one, two, or all three sessions!
Thursday, May 9th – 10:30-12:30 – Values and Concerns
Thursday, May 16th – 10:30-12:30 – Social Connections
Thursday, May 23rd – 10:30-12:30 – Loneliness and Isolation
Each two-hour session includes food, fun, and – most importantly – meaningful conversation. These sessions give older adults an opportunity to explore social connections or the lack thereof in their lives. Through guided conversations, participants provide feedback about the challenges and rewards of growing older. By attending these sessions, participants are able to share their ideas about how Gammelgården could provide a place for regular gatherings and activities for those wanting to make connections and friendships with others sharing similar interests.
