Union. Is this not a basic need for all of us? To be rural, but not isolated. To grow old gracefully, but not alone?

In Norway, there is a concept called "Forening". A group formed to meet to discuss common interests. Individuals unite.

Our solution is a new platform, specially designed with the older user in mind, to connect in groups related to their interests. User-focused designs include the use of larger-than-average icons, high-contrast colours and simple navigation.
