Gothenburg, SE "talking benches" senior services

Complete

The City of Gothenburg's Park and Nature Administration installed twenty "talking benches" to encourage spontaneous conversations as part of a mission to become age-friendly. These vibrant yellow benches create an opportunity for interpersonal meeting in public environments regardless of age. Each bench was installed in a location based on feedback from senior citizens and has sign posted nearby with suggestions for topics of conversation.
