The pandemic crisis that hit the country (and the world) in early 2020, confined us at our homes as a unique form of combat.

However, despite the strong concern and attention to the developments that occurred daily in the most varied areas and specifically in the culture which we are part of, from the first day caring for the elderly was the issue that took us the most time of concern and reflection.

This observation led us to think about how we could help the elderly during the weeks of confinement, when they would be in their homes a little more isolated from the world and given the fact that only a small percentage have access to technologies, capable of minimising this distance.

And this led us to think about how we could create mechanisms of communication between generations of the same family, between generations of the same community. To get closer, even though we are far away. To share, to show solidarity, to create hope.
And in just 14 days after the first concern, the answer came in the form of "Quarantine Workbook": 40 ideas to make the most of time.
Quarantine WorkbookMistaker Maker
A mission for which we brought together 40 authors: illustrators, visual artists, calligraphers, writers, urban artists, architects, ...; to which we launched this challenge...
... of creating 'something' capable of arousing empathy in an elderly person, pulling out a smile, lifting him off the couch, firming a positive thought...
.... feeding his soul on the strange days we are living in, cementing certainty that there is someone, near or far, who looks after them.

This book, presented itself as a compendium of illustrations to paint, with stories, messages, 'beginnings of conversation', puzzles, illustrated words...

... 'new forms of communication' between the elderly and the world, between grandparents and grandchildren, that can be sent / exchanged for purchases or deliveries, etc; able to occupy their time and (we reiterate) feed their soul.
