In terms of infrastructure, we need adapted buildings, which are equipped, for example, with ramps for people with reduced mobility.
One of our challenges is the availability of time slots for these two groups to meet. Those people do not have the same schedules. Young people are in school during the day, but older people usually show up during the day. Those two distinct realities require highly qualified personnel. Even in terms of the organization of activities, those are two categories of people who have very different objectives and needs when it comes to volunteering. So we have to align those two realities.
I've been with Le Petit People for a long time. We are talking about intergenerational practices, but, for me, that is still volunteering. However, it is difficult to compare it to other forms of volunteering, such as traditional volunteering.
Ms. Trauttmansdorff was talking about board tables. We work on youth board tables and seniors board tables. I think it would be really relevant to have a board table that could bring the two groups together to look at our distinct realities.
