DO YOU HELP THEM OR DO THEY HELP YOU?

• We make them feel they’re still useful

• We don’t leave them falling down into lonliness and a depression

• We counterbalance their physical-limitation

• We make them understand that they still have a future

• Elderly people witness us the time passing by

• They’re historical memory

• They give us good advice and suggestions

• They help us to understand that youth has limits

• They help us to fill up our lonliness and emptiness

ELDERLY PEOPLE & ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP

• Nowadays elderly people show even more energy and commitment

• A national organization which improves an active ageing is:

• It undertakes to:– Contrast every kind of social exclusion– Improve the quality of the life– Spread the culture and the solidarity.

EVERY AGE HAS A VALUEEACH PERSON HAS A LIFE’S PROJECT TO

BECOME A RESOURCE FOR THE OTHERS AND

HIMSELF
