Chat Analógico® is a project within the social entrepreneurship sphere.
This initiative addresses the scarce intergenerational communication problem, that has been occuring/developing.
Chat Analógico® is a service that enables communication between generations.
The process is based on two key-players: gathering correspondent groups in primary schools and nurcery homes that will chat through postcards along the school year and, obviously, postal communication.
It All begins with a Chat Analógico® Kit, in which are provided all the tools needed to iniate the process: it includes up to 2000 postcards for one school, 50 identifying pins, an instructions manual and a slide presentation for the initial workshop that starts the communication process. Each Kit serves a maximum of 50 people – 25 students + 25 seniors – and the retail price is 250€.
We’ve also developed a smaller Kit that enables each pair of correspondents to communicate from their homes and even takes the project to many more people. It consists in 20 postcards, 20 postal services’ stamps and its retail price is 25€.
The prototype tested in the field with real people engaged a total of five experts, teachers and psychologists; 130 correspondents, who exchanged about 800 postcards, correspondents’ relatives; institutions’ boards, among other social partners.
Chat Analógico® showed us that is possible to bring generations closer and promoted seniors’ inclusion in community’s active cores, classic writing and Reading practice, empathy and personal and social skills development, and reinvigorated the Portuguese language and postal communication.
