The aim of the project was to activate older people and promote the social involvement of members of European senior organizations, as well as to work for the safety of older people at the EU level, by sharing knowledge and working methods of organizations associating seniors from different European countries. The specific objectives are: - raising awareness of the opportunities offered by the EU - greater participation of seniors - increasing the activity of seniors at risk of exclusion
Our organization applied for the project to increase its knowledge and learn about good practices in the field of senior activation in Europe. The 3 organizations participating in the project are involved in the activation of seniors and in striving for respect for their rights in society on a daily basis, but the activities of each of them are local, different from each other, and do not have any common European structure. We consider it extremely important to unify these activities and exchange good practices in the field of respect for the rights of seniors, especially in the context of violence against seniors, financial abuse or discrimination. In addition, the members of our organizations are people aged 65+, who, thanks to participation in the project, had the opportunity to become active and gain motivation for further activities.
