Global Ageing Interview – Heiner Schweigkofler

Our first Global Ageing interview as part of the Global Older People’s Care & Support Day 2024 is from Italy. For this, we have Global Ageing Conference 2023 speaker, Heiner Schweigkofler – CEO of Fondazione Liebenau, Italy.

The interview highlights the success of co-housing projects in combating loneliness and fostering community through cross-generational interactions. While the initiative has strong local support, the goal is to secure official recognition and explore sustainable funding. Future plans include collaborating with other co-housing communities, social services, and expanding the model to new regions through impact evaluations.
