This European wide partner network of elderly care professionals from 10 countries promotes values, rights and opportunities for EU senior citizens. Professionals, planners, decision-makers, researches and students of elderly care from working life and educational sector as well as senior citizens and their family members, school children and further local, regional, national and European politicians met each other during conferences through the horizontal theme of the project improving cooperation between education, research and working life. In the focus were the priorities of the European Year of Citizens 2013.
Priorities were reflected in detail through three specific conference themes:
1st conference on 12-15 May 2014 in Päijät-Häme (FI) with “Rehabilitation and maintaining the everyday physical activity of the elderly people” The event 1 involved 107 citizens (43 international participants and 64 local participants).
2nd conference in 15-18 September 2014 in Talsi (LV) with “Interaction between generations – building bridges between the generations The event 2 involved 98 citizens (46 international participants and 52 local participants).
3rd conference in 11-14 May 2015 in Silesian Voivodeship (PL) “Loneliness and depression of theelderly people”
The event 3 involved 92 citizens (41 international participants and 51 local participants).
All the conferences contributed to social cohesion and to attract young people and students to work in elderly care sector as EU suffers under severe youth unemployment. Senior Citizens´ participation in the democratic life of the EU was increased in interactive panel discussions with EP election candidates as well as local and regional decision makers, in conference activities and during the Europe Days. Working practices and civic participation must be starting points when building new Europe of elderly care with providers of education without further institutionalization. Network also contributed in this project to the development of future elderly care education. Best practices from participating regions were collected in the format of stories into the project publication for implementing.
During these conferences we have taken many actions: expert lessons, visits, panel discussions, small-group discussions and informal talking. By using this unique network and what we all participating sectors and countries represent, we have had a chance to hear and see good working practices, civic participation and new methods, significant for reflecting on present but also future elderly care actions.
