Honestly? We all have or had grandparents, but how many of us actually spoke with them honestly? Do we know who was their first love? What was the most difficult period of their lives? How much do we actually know about them? Honestly is a campaign that aims at encouraging interaction between seniors and the younger generations. It consists of short videos where elderly people answer questions about their lives. This shows the similarities between the generations to bring them closer.

depression in later life is the death of a spouse. Students explained that, “It was also interesting to know that there were some older people who felt that their relationship wasn’t meaningful and who sought another chance after their retirement. However, they usually face many stigmas from their family as well as their friends when attempting to look for new love.” One of the seniors, who participated in a co-design workshop to develop a dating service, put it nicely: “Love and a relationship is for everyone as long as one still breathes”. Accordingly, the students aimed for a service that helps to find like-minded people to share one’s stories and experiences with. Furthermore, they had learned that maintaining one’s own identity was a major concern in the later stage of life and they wanted to highlight that in the service too. They began to develop a dating service, AVAdate (page 64), with a particular question in mind: “What if we created a world that they [seniors] could be what they really wanted to be and share their memories in a way that really reflects themselves?” A third team of students 5 talked with the elderly and learned that they genuinely enjoyed spending time with the young, but they experienced a lack of communication between the generations. This got the students to wondering how well people know their older relatives; how many of us have actually spoken with our grandparents honestly? Do we know who their first love was? What was the most difficult period in their lives? Consequently, they reformulated their design problem to enhance intergenerational interaction and to get the younger generation interested in seniors’ stories and life experiences. They noticed that seniors have lot to offer if the service underlines similarities between the old and the young instead of the differences. Their proposal was a campaign, called Honestly! (page 62), consisting of short videos where old people answer questions about their lives and an internet platform where people can watch the videos, ask questions and contact the people in the videos. 5 Student group: Martina Frantzen, Kajsa Sundeson, Goran Bjelajac, Panu Harju 63 · Co-design with the public sector
