The Humanitas Talent Scan , a key to self-assured and socially active aging, is a method to (re)discover where talents, interests and possibilities lie.
Initially, this scan was designed by and for seniors to inspire them to continue to contribute to society with their talents, knowledge and skills.
We believe that as a society, we all benefit from continuing to actively involve seniors. Under the pressure of the aging population, more and more organizations are being called upon to commit themselves to the well-being of seniors by offering help and organizing activities for a day out or meeting others.
Precisely because you dedicate yourself to someone else, you feel useful: a major contribution to your mental well-being and meaning.
It turns out that the scan brings out possibilities for many and is inspiring. Obstacles are taken into account, but the focus is on what is possible and that is often more than people think!!!
For inspiration, read here an experience story of older people who have already been matched to a suitable organization.
Join us and welcome the elderly as volunteers to your organization!
The methodology
On the basis of a well-thought-out card game, trained voluntary Talent Scan Coaches visualize what they want and are able to do together with seniors.
With this information and the resulting conversations, the coaches, if desired, look for a suitable activity or (voluntary) work in the area and provide support during the first contact.
The main thing is that control remains with the person from whom the scan is taken and some find the self-insight they have received inspiring enough.
For whom?
For many there is a lot to discover and do within the Humanitas Talent Scan; as a 'participant', voluntary Talent Scan coach, organization or company!
