29 April-EU Day of Solidarity between Generations
European Day of Solidarity between Generations (29 April)!
AGE is involved in an awareness-raising campaign to attract the attention of politicians at European, national, regional and local levels on how to rethink the concept of solidarity between the generations, and on how to support civil society initiatives on intergenerational cooperation.
This campaign was launched in 2008 and is now supported by a growing coalition of European Organisations active in various sectors and representing different citizens groups ans stakeholders.
Objective of this campaign:
Make the European Union more age-friendly and better adapted to our ageing population, as well as have intergenerational solidarity high on the EU agenda.
Recent and ongoing activities:
- The coalition is encouraging their members and the other European organisations to organise awareness-raising events on the need of greater intergenerational solidarity in an ageing society.
- The coalition is closely cooperating with the European Commission in order to prepare the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations (2012). For more information, please click here.
- The coalition published a joint brochure entitled "2012: Everyone has a role to play!" (EN, FR) to invite all stakeholders at local, national and European Year to use the European Year 2012 to promote solidarity between generations.
