    Abstract

    Senior life in Copenhagen is lived in numerous ways. Through three seniors' stories from their everyday life, we give an insight into this diversity. We lookig into how they imagine a good senior life can unfold in Copenhagen today. The three senior lives portrayed here were part of the everyday lives we god the opportunity of looking into and being part of during the project Senior Interaction. project Senior Interaction has largely focused on understanding seniors' everyday lives. The seniors, in collaboration, have created a shared understanding of what it means to live a life as a senior in Copenhagen. Some topics are repeatedly mentioned: What does it involve to be retired? How are duty and desire balanced in senior life? Is is a dilemma having time to do whatever you want? And what do change and social relations mean in this part of your life?
