What did we do?

• Research, and networking meetings, to learn more about the topic, and to inform ourselves on the existing processes in Auroville.

• We did a board where people got to write their needs and feeling about what they would need to feel safe growing old in Auroville

• We met with the care takers of Mahalakshmi Home, Matram and ?

• With all the info received we created infographics on statistics in Av, in Puducherry and around the World

• We showed to the commuity the Farewell and Living Form, both form are needed to be filled and given to the Farewell team so that they know what to do with the body and belongings after death.

• We got volunteers to help support and care for our Elderly

• We took interviews of Elderly and Young people to see their perspectives on ageing 

• We had a few facilitators on stand-by for support and to be able to answer questions or have further discussions for anyone interested. They also helped us in checking that our information was good and gave us feedback. A big thanks to ???

• We also have spread awareness through our social media platforms and will be sending out the information through digital format via email for those that have asked us. If you would like to receive infographics and Farewell/Living forms, please reach out to  Youthlink@auroville.org.in
