Session 1



Members of the Making it Work project came together to discuss some of the challenges they have had doing research since the pandemic began. Knowing that other researchers and research teams were most likely experiencing the same issues, it was decided that a space should be created where  people from across the country can be invited to share and learn from one another.

PAN and the AHA Centre do not ‘own’ this space. We are working together to create space for community to share insights and talk about struggles they’re having. Let's work together to problem solve!

Engaging Elders
  • Provide Elders with the technology to stay connected
  • iPads or tablets seems to be easiest technology for Elders to use/learn
  • Find a way to give in person training on the device. Maybe a family member or friend.
