Thus, KIOKU becomes a valuable asset for social and health organizations, caregivers, and anyone committed to improving the social well-being of the elderly.
Play. Feel together.
Hundreds of elderly in Israel have learned to facilitate the game in social clubs, elementary schools, home visits, and other models. These practical circles strengthen community bonds and support interpersonal connections. This approach offers a comprehensive action to combat loneliness and promote mental well-being, improve social fitness, and expand social networks within communities.
A hybrid experience - KIOKU everywhere
Kyoko also offers a hybrid version that enables meaningful interaction regardless of geographic distance. "Hybrid KIOKU" opens up possibilities for contacting family and friends around the world - anytime, anywhere.
Well-being: research on KIOKU won first prize in Japan
As life expectancy increases globally, the need for strategies that promote healthy aging becomes essential. The premise of "Kioku: Friends for Life" is that both longevity and quality of life are rooted in meaningful connections and a strong social network. Developmental studies, like Harvard's HSAD, underscore the crucial role of these relationships.
A controlled study conducted in 2022 under the leadership of Professors Ehud Bodner and Yoram Barak, showed that participants aged 61 - 94 experienced a significant decrease in the feeling of loneliness and a significant increase in the level of mental well-being, after 12 guided Kyoko sessions. The study won first place at the International Congress of Gerontology in Yokohama, Japan (IAGG 2023).
The study was published in the journal GAMES FOR HEALTH . Also published in the Library of the National Institutes of Health of the United States.
Multi-generational KIOKU
A group of children gathers around a KIOKU facilitator, and together they dive into a world of stories that transcend time and age, weaving an experience of laughter, wisdom, and adventure. This moment illustrates the essence of KIOKU: the power of storytelling and collaborative play. KIOKU creates a community where every participant, regardless of their life journey, can find joy, learning, and a sense of belonging.
