Satisfying

The live streaming system has often been used during the full corona crisis, but it remains important even after the crisis. “We are grateful that we can organize this with the help of Cultuurconnect in our residential care center,” says Joost Cuvelier, alderman for elderly care in Torhout. There the concert was performed in the Sint-Augustinus residential care center. “In this way, technological evolution contributes to care for the elderly and to breaking the isolation of the elderly.”
