Share experience. Keep growing

Connecting older adults to share knowledge with people eager to learn from real-life experience.

Role: UI/UX Designer | Industry: EdTech / Social Impact | Type: Web platform | Year: 2020
Project overview

This platform enables older adults to offer classes based on their professional experience, skills and personal knowledge, helping them stay active, engaged and socially connected.

Learners—primarily young adults—can discover and join sessions online or in person, creating meaningful intergenerational learning experiences.

The challenge
Many older adults experience isolation and loss of purpose after retirement, which can negatively impact their mental health. At the same time, younger generations often lack opportunities to connect with and learn from their experience.

The opportunity was to design a simple and accessible platform that empowers seniors to share their knowledge while fostering empathy and connection across generations.

The solution

A simple learning platform designed to help older adults easily create and offer classes, while allowing users to discover, book and attend sessions based on their interests and availability.

The experience prioritizes accessibility, clarity and trust for both audiences.
