CO-VIDA 2020
Sep 9, 2020 — All day
CO-VIDA 2020 is a University of Ottawa student initiative associated with the LIFE Research Institute. The goal of this initiative is to bridge the intergenerational divide between older adults and younger adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.
CO-VIDA 2020
The CO-VIDA group sees this as an opportunity for older adults to support students and for students to be able to support older adults. The focus of their activities is on decreasing loneliness and social isolation and providing support. They also see this as an opportunity for students and older adults to gain knowledge from each other and form a connection in the current state of crisis. We plan on extending this initiative beyond just the COVID-19 pandemic because the goal could be very beneficial for the community in general.
