What's special about Mall Walking Austria
Mall Walking Austria is, to our knowledge, the first scientific mall walking project of its kind in Europe.
The project is funded by the Gesellschaft für Forschungsförder Niederösterreich (GFF) and by the University for Continuing Education Krems together with international partners Australia and Denmark.
Our goal is to work with people over 60 to develop an offer that really fits their everyday life: safe, pleasant, social, low-threshold and joyful.
Your role: You are a co-researcher
In Mall Walking Austria, older people are not just participants - they actively shape the project with us.
As a co-researcher you bring in your experiences, wishes and ideas. They help us to understand:
What motivates people over 60 to stay active?
What makes a walking group pleasant and inviting?
What does it take to make you feel safe and welcome?
What hurdles are there in everyday life?
What should a good offer definitely avoid?
Your feedback flows directly into the development of the new mall walking program.
This means that an offer is not created “about” older people, but together with older people.
What can you expect?
In the ideas workshop we collect ideas together and develop initial suggestions for a new walking and meeting offer in the Shopping City South.
We talk about what a good offer needs: for example a suitable meeting point, a pleasant pace, breaks, safety, companionship, community and a comfortable sit-down afterwards.
You don't need any Previous knowledge.
You don't have to be particularly athletic or agile.
You don't have to prepare anything.
Your personal experiences are the most valuable thing you can bring with you.
