Communication is an important part of our work.

The teams behind the Designing Homes for Healthy Cognitive ageing (DesHCA) and Changing Intergenerational Relationships (CIR) projects are passionate about sharing their findings with as many people as possible. 

 

Our goal is to make our process, and our findings, as transparent and accessible as possible so that people can stay up to date with the research and learn more about how inclusive design and intergenerational communities can help people live the lives they want, in the places they choose, for longer.
