The project addresses the loneliness and social isolation that the Covid-19 pandemic has created among the most vulnerable groups of the population. We are working side by side with a willing group of trained and experienced readers to reach the elderlies and people with disability in our region. How? Reading short stories out loud, often accompanied by evocative music and images, live and online. We are currently reading for three audiences, and the project is going to take off in some other nursing homes and cooperatives. The Hub is also training new readers who have already joined as observers and advisors and will soon be fully part of their daily activities.
