CASA SOLO has begun a partnership with Paulina Ballbè, director of the postgraduate degree in Active & Healthy Ageing Project Management at the Pompeu Fabra University- Barcelona School of Management (UPF-BSM). On the basis of the knowledge generated by this academic programme, especially in terms of projects and research on age-friendliness, Paulina Ballbè proposes inclusion of the age-friendly concept in our hospital-related architecture with the aim of creating more friendly healthcare and assistance surroundings: environments better adapted to the needs of the elderly users and which benefit people of all ages at the same time.
Roger Pernas and Bernat Gato, founders of CASA SOLO, form part of the teaching staff of the postgraduate course.
