Lecture for senior university in Sollefteå

Kristin Godtman Kling was invited to give a lecture on active and healthy ageing at the Senior University in Sollefteå. The Senior University is a non-profit organization with the purpose of conveying knowledge at an academic level, and is a collaboration with Folkuniversitetet.

"The visit was a good opportunity to tell the target group about the project's results and discuss and reflect on these," says Kristin.

There were about 35 people who came and listened, and interesting discussions arose about questions such as what "real" nature means and how different actors in society can work to ensure that the elderly people who are not so healthy and alert also have the opportunity to take part in outdoor activities and natural environments. The visit contributed to a better insight into the importance of outdoor activities for many older people, and how the conditions for participation can be improved.
