Project description

OpenEmbassy VitaValley are working together with the parties involved to map out the ambitions of the Care Café. We will then distribute a short questionnaire to visitors to the Care Café.

Before the summer, we will bring together 15 visitors to the Care Café in an expert pool, where they can share their experiences with the Care Café. After the summer, we will meet again to discuss what the Care Café has brought them in the longer term. By using a design probe, we allow newcomers to reflect in the meantime on what their visit to the Care Café has ultimately led to.

VitaValley is currently conducting research using the SROI methodology to map out the social costs and benefits of the Care Café.

Results & insights

Results are expected by the end of 2025 and will be shared.
