Circle of life
Storytelling event
Project report
The “Circle of life” project is my design solution
to the RSA brief “Something for everyone”.
The idea is to create an activity similar to a game
The idea is to create an activity similar to a game
involving the young people and the elderly around
a table where they can share their experiences
from their past while telling stories which can
be recorded and showing photos that if agreed
can remain as an archive of the host organization
and then used for certain purposes,
eg. monographs, exhibitions and documentaries.
I came to this concept by doing research that helped
me to better understand the problem and as a final
result come up with this solution. Storytelling
event with different topics including achievements,
culture, relationships, etc would be a better
opportunity for generations to come together,
e.g.. the youngster's to learn more from the elderly
like how it was before internet, telephones, etc
and the elderly to learn more for the entertainment
that the other's have, technology and convenience
that it offers! This game would be very attractive
and entertaining and the way that is designed is
fun, exploring the mysteries and beautiful stories
of real life in recent decades, with dialogue and
discussions, explained from the elderly and
others in an interactive way.
The idea could work if at least once a month such
an event or activity would be held at different
organizations that deals with age concerns.
In this case the elderly wouldn't be faced with
loneliness and the lack of socialization and
would learn a lot of things that would be
helpful in their life.
