BytSpolu is a Homeshare programme in Pilzen, Czech Republic, a university city of around 180 000 inhabitants and 10 000 students. We provide services to the elderly above 60 years and students between 18-27 years. Our service was developed under the mentorship of ensemble2generations who kindly shared their methodology.

During the continuing COVID-19 epidemic, when all universities are closed, we are building awareness about inter-generational homesharing via social media (see our YouTube channel and Facebook page) and local partners (municipality, university, local charities). The idea of inter-generational homesharing is very new in the Czech Republic and we will yet have to dispel the fears about it, but we believe that in a long term Czechs will find this to be one of the solutions for seniors solitude, low incomes etc.
