Ontmoetings Punt is a social project designed to combat loneliness among elderly individuals by pairing them with young people of immigrant backgrounds. It aims to foster intergenerational and cross-cultural exchanges through regular meetups, shared activities, and an online community platform. The project responds to the pressing need to address loneliness in aging populations while encouraging young people from diverse backgrounds to integrate more fully into their communities.

In the Netherlands, particularly in Amsterdam, loneliness has become one of the most pressing issues among the elderly. This isolation often contributes to both physical and mental health challenges, reducing overall quality of life. Simultaneously, young people from immigrant backgrounds frequently face obstacles to social integration, which can lead to feelings of marginalization. Ontmoetings Punt aims to bridge these gaps by creating opportunities for connection and friendship, fostering mutual understanding, and helping both groups feel more connected within their communities.
