Story Telling House

There are an increasing number of elderly people still working because of increased life expectancy. However, industrial skills and ability requirements means there are limited workplaces and jobs suitable for elderly peopleIn this regard, I would like to suggest a workplace for them, the "Storytelling house” (STH). This is connected to the tourist information centre and it would be a local seniors’ house which would allow them to have a balanced retired lifestyle in their workplace. One of the greatest strengths of elderly people is that they have a great amount of knowledge. In STH, this benefit would be maximized as they have generally lived in a certain place for a long time, having gained a variety of local stories and knowledge. As a result of this personal touch, visitors can better understand the local which in turn can be reinforced with extra activities. In advance, visitors can book a place to eat or stay together with local people using an APP and website. Tourist information centers will always be the first place to visit for help regarding the STH, and there will be a high level of communication there as well. After they spend time doing a cultural activity, the photos will be uploaded to the APP and website, which automatically visualizes these on a map expressing the preferences by participant. The STH is innovative, engaging, self-sustaining and robust. The tourists and local seniors as stakeholders will have a meaningful time through local tourism and it can be a great inspiration in their daily lives. All in all, the future workplace for retirees is in their daily life.
