Active A.G.E. Final Results available

The rationale of the Active A.G.E. project was rooted in the general and complex framework of the population ageing issue, that is both a challenge and an opportunity for most countries in Europe, especially in conjunction with the current negative trends affecting world-wide the economies at a global level.

The Project was focused on the following three sub-themes:

- Age and the economy
- Age and care
- Age and inclusion

The Active AGE Project partnership involves 9 cities from 8 European countries:

Rome – Italy (Lead Partner)
Dobrich – Bulgary
Edinburgh - United Kingdom
Maribor – Slovenia
Prague - Czech Republic
Sevilla – Spain
Starogard Gdanski - Poland.
Thessaloniki – Greece
Wolverhampton - United Kingdom

Each City had to draw up at least one Local Action Plan (LAP) on a specific subtheme of particular interest for its context. The LAP is an instrument for further change, oriented to both improve the impact of transnational exchange and learning on local policies and give concrete form to the outputs coming out from the networking activities carried out by the partners.

Our common feeling is that each LAP represents a milestone and a starting point to implement effective measures in the active ageing field in the 9 European cities involved in this project. Moreover we hope that our experience may be of interest and use for other cities aiming at tackling the same issues.
