Seetal (CH)<br />
Description: The old Maria<br />
Rickenbach Convent in the<br />
small mountain village of<br />
Niederrickenbach in Nidwalden<br />
is an oasis of tranquility.<br />
However, due <strong>to</strong> the ageing of<br />
the residents in the convent<br />
it runs the risk that its ancient<br />
artisanry and knowledge<br />
(for example for weaving)<br />
may eventually disappear.<br />
Therefore local stakeholders<br />
are working <strong>to</strong>gether <strong>to</strong><br />
develop a way of linking these<br />
resources with local <strong>to</strong>urism;<br />
these objectives will be stated<br />
within the articles of the local<br />
<strong>to</strong>urist association.<br />
Transferability: The basic<br />
idea of this Pilot Action can be<br />
transferred only under similar<br />
conditions <strong>to</strong> this model region.<br />

Multigenerational housing<br />
‘Bürgenberg’ in Stans, Nidwalden<br />
Objective: Creation of<br />
apartment size<br />
affordable multi-generational<br />
housing<br />
Description: As there is a<br />
decrease in affordable living<br />
places in Nidwalden, a multigenerational<br />
living area will<br />
be created in all Nidwalden<br />
communities. These places<br />
aim <strong>to</strong> guarantee a high level of<br />
interaction and neigbourly help,<br />
so that elderly people will not be<br />
isolated. A union was set up as<br />
a result of the DEMOCHANGE<br />
project. This union will follow the<br />
objectives of the creation of these<br />
future multigenerational houses;<br />
the School of Engineering and<br />
Architecture has been contacted<br />
as part of this project.<br />
Transferability: This Pilot Action<br />
can easily be transferred <strong>to</strong> any<br />
Alpine region but project success<br />
requires the work of competent<br />
groups and individuals.<br />
Therefore interested people<br />
have <strong>to</strong> be found, <strong>to</strong> concretise<br />
the realisation of multigenerational<br />
living.<br />
