We are pleased to share the fourth and final newsletter of the FRIEND project, which has now come to a successful conclusion after years of dedicated work and fruitful collaboration.
During spring 2026, the five partner countries organised multiplier events to showcase and promote the project. Each event combined an overview of the FRIEND methodology with interactive activities taken directly from the programme, allowing participants to experience its practical approach firsthand.
The events were met with great enthusiasm from professionals and students alike, sparking interest in adopting the FRIEND programme within their own organisations and generating highly positive feedback on the project’s outcomes.
This marks a fitting conclusion to an initiative that has already made a meaningful contribution – and will continue to do so – to helping older adults build friendships and strengthen their social networks.
