Linkki

The challenge

Linkki will mitigate the feelings of loneliness in our society by connecting young people with similar interests in fun ways. Loneliness is a problem which has been around for a long time, although we have only recently started understanding the negative effects it has on the human psych. Now during the Corona crisis these effects are felt on a whole new scale, feelings of loneliness are increasing. Furthermore, the acknowledgment of mental health issues has gained momentum over the past years. With this project we will help people to combat the feelings of loneliness and create a more connected society.

The solution

The aim is to bring people, between 18 to 25 years, who experience feelings of loneliness and feel the need to be in touch with other people together. We will do this through physical social interaction in places with which we have agreements. Furthermore, to match the interests of our members and get the most out of the social interaction we will use an app which makes it easier to make sustainable connections with other people based on questions about hobbies and preferences. To enhance their experience the user will have an active role in the creation of matches.
