Hi, I'm Sebastian, I'm a creative professional with experience in the communications field. I recently completed my leadership-in-action project in Medellín, Colombia, focused on supporting local non-profits with innovative funding and communication strategies. My Laidlaw research delved into the topic of mental health and communication strategies for older adult populations. I am passionate about community engagement and sustainable solutions, collaborating with diverse teams to drive impactful results. I am now onto my placement year at the University of Leeds, while also continuing my social volunteer work with local organisations such as @sasha_uol and @rainbowjunktion. I'm also always more than happy for a chat but the best results are reaching out on LinkedIn ⭐

This is such an interesting topic to discuss. My grandmother works in a care home for the elderly, and we have often discussed whether these establishments should help its inhabitants connect via social media/technology to loved ones. Technology could also be a great method of mental stimulation for elderly folks who lack the mobility to enable social interaction and pursue hobbies.
