Description
The aim of the project is the development of age-friendly municipalities. In the course of the project cooperation between municipalities and representatives of seniors will be facilitated and appropriate forms of cooperation tested. First, municipalities that are interested and willing to promote cooperation with representatives of seniors to make municipality age-friendly will be identified. Representatives of these municipalities and seniors will be consulted on their training needs; training programs will be designed, and trainings carried out.
Based on the knowledge gained from the training, participants will do their homework with the aim of planning a suitable form of cooperation together with municipalities.
As a result of the project a training program has been designed and refined ready to be implemented in other municipalities. In at least 20 Estonian municipalities there are working forms of cooperation between the municipality and representatives of seniors in place thus ensuring that the voice of the elderly is better heard.
