Empathy exercise in Poland

What is it really like being old? 

Sharing is caring! Thanks to the model of the workshop suggested by the DESES -3 team from Spain, or partners from Poland organized an empathy exercise.

Wearing earplugs in their ears, gloves in hands that would also simulate neuropathy, and using a walking cane, participants step into the shoes of elders for some minutes. After performing the exercise, the reflection session gave them the possibility to understand how seniors feel and what kind of challenges are facing.
