How to talk with the elderly? How to gain their trust and encourage them to care for the needs of their age group?
During the session we want to share experiences in the field of civic engagement of the elderly. Together we should determine whether it is difficult to encourage seniors to participate in joint effort. Senior-oriented policies are too an important issue which is being discussed across our districts. How should they be shaped with taking into consideration the growing involvement of seniors, for example through senior councils that are more and more popular?
We invite all who are experienced in working with the elderly or would like to begin such work.
