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 VALUE
EACH PERSON HAS A LIFE’S
PROJECT TO BECOME A
RESOURCE FOR THE
OTHERS AND HIMSELF
