Making Connections is for people interested in helping solve transportation and mobility challenges facing older adults. Take a journey through time to understand why many of us are car-dependent and what can be done to improve options for those who no longer drive or who drive less.
You will learn key concepts of healthy and age-friendly community design, share your own experiences, get tips on mobility options in the Upper Valley, and dig into ideas for advocacy and action.
All workshops are free and will be at The Kilton Library (80 Main St, West Lebanon, NH) from 10 AM to 2 PM. Light breakfast and lunch included for workshop participants!
