Objectives

The activities carried out in the project aimed to help older people and their caregivers cope with the new stage they are facing, as well as with the changes that occur in the lives. Alll results provided the necessary tools for dealing with problems arising in everyday relationships and work with older people.

Background

The project responded to a vital social need in the European Union countries - the ageing of societies. The ageing of the population is one of the most important demographic and social trends of the 21st century. Although it is a global phenomenon, it is particularly pronounced in European countries. For some, ageing is a positive experience. However, critical problems also arise in this phase of life. Ageing can have a significant impact on mental health. Older people talk about health in a holistic way, combining both mental and physical aspects. In this sense, Emotional Intelligence, which was main subject in the project, is one of the strengths that, in balance, make up a valuable and self-confident person, both on a personal level and in relationships with the people around them.
