On 6 June 2023, the Collaborative Housing and Innovative Practices in Care (CHIC) team held a day-long event in Barcelona focusing on European research, practice and lived experience at the intersections of collaborative housing (CH1), innovative care practices and ageing. 

By bringing different country contexts and sectors together, the goal was to improve our understanding of ideas and practices of care during the life course and ageing processes that are infusing spaces of cohabitation; as well as to consider how research, policy and practice may better reflect and respond to these realities.

Below, the team offer a brief summary of the key ideas discussed during researcher, practitioner and policy presentations.
