The VIP Lounge is an exclusive space on the OpinioNet platform designed for P3 subscribers.

Using collective wisdom and innovation to solve practical challenges and opportunities. It is a place where young talents and experienced seniors gather, online or in person, to jointly reflect on the daily theme of the Lounge. Experiences are exchanged here, mutual understanding is supported, and doors to practical solutions are opened.

The initial setting foresees monthly meetings, but participants can suggest a different pace and manage the content!

Participants are young talents and experienced seniors who wish to take part in the exchange of knowledge and the reflection on Lounge topics. Access is exclusive to P3 OpinioNet subscribers.
In the OpinioNet Lounge, two groups of participants take part:
• young talents – persons older than 18 and younger than 30 years of age, regardless of employment status, level of education, or place of residence
• seniors – persons older than 55, regardless of whether they are employed or retired, and regardless of their place of residence
The OpinioNet Lounge provides a space for open communication on OpinioNet topics and for joining a dynamic community of people who share similar interests. It is an opportunity to step out of everyday routines and familiar surroundings and connect with others who wish to reflect on experiences, needs, and possibilities.

Meetings are held monthly online, and occasionally in person, creating a warm, safe atmosphere for dialogue and mutual acquaintance. Each meeting is carefully designed to ensure a sense of belonging and exclusive access to information and resources.

There are five OpinioNet Lounge topics:
• modern health
• active ageing
• second opinion
• innovative housing
• autonomous mobility

Each Lounge brings together young talents and experienced seniors around a specific theme to enable a focused exchange of perspectives and experiences.

Yes, but it is not recommended. Of course, in-person participation cannot be anonymous. We understand that some topics require discretion. Participation in communication can be completely anonymous to ensure maximum safety and comfort for all participants.

• Exclusive access to specialized discussions and thematic groups
• Opportunities for personal and professional development through interaction and experience sharing
• A sense of belonging and mutual support in a safe environment
• Access to additional resources, information, and events within the OpinioNet community
