Workshop at a Retirement Home in Szeged

Virág, an intern at Aspect Group, envisioned a project focusing on the elderly, particularly those living in retirement homes. The job-shadowing internship program, carried out in collaboration with Civilizáció, aims to provide enthusiastic young people with insight into the workings of the civil sector and hands-on experience in event planning and project implementation.

To bring her initiative to life, Virág involved two of her fellow students, Fanni and Dorina, and together they organized an experience-based workshop. The program incorporated a diverse range of methods, including meditation, self-reflective storytelling, and supportive conversations, making the session truly engaging. Over the course of two hours, deep and personal experiences emerged, while moments of humor from the participants occasionally brought smiles to the organizers’ faces.

For Virág, this was the first time leading a group session with elderly participants, but the experience brought her closer to this generation.
