Objectives

We had documented that: - the European ELDERLY POPULATION is expected to increase from 14 million to 19 million by 2020 - According to the World Migration Report, MIGRANTS are particularly poorly served by social protection systems dedicated to old age - the YOUTH unemployment rate is high, especially among those with fewer opportunities The main objective of the project was therefore to improve this situation by helping these two target groups. It was : - on the one hand, to meet the NEEDS faced by SENIOR MIGRANTS - on the other hand, to facilitate JOB OPPORTUNITIES for YOUNG PEOPLE WITH LESS OPPORTUNITIES by giving them access to valuable professional skills in the field of assistance to seniors. So as mentioned in our application, our intermediairy objectives were : 1- To implement 3 educational european projects related to our topic 2- To equip youth social workers with professional competences to help seniors with a migrant background 3- To involve 87 active participants plus 10 more in each training activity (30) A- to raise awareness and remove blockages about situations senior migrants face, to promote respect for cultural diversity and xenophobia B- to experiment with the use of the Virtual Tools (WE TOMORROW) to implement at least 3 more in COOPCOM SENIORS.
