Ideas for a better understanding of someone else

Old hoodies and young mobility buggies: a game where the elderly switch places with the young. Instructions: wear a hood, hang around and talk with your friends.

When working on the ageing population project a friend mentioned wearing clothing that restricts movement. Get a 'young person' to try texting with restricted movement gloves on.

Scenario: kid gets on bus with mobile phone slide speaker blaring. Everyone else on the bus starts to dance to the music/ sing along/ play their own music back.

Front room projects - bringing back the idea of the front room, people pop over for a pint and a chat, go round to other people's houses, spread this over a couple of months. Cheaper than the pub.

Or... switch front rooms with someone, understand more about how they live.
