Description
The population of middle aged in the society is consistently increasing and their contribution to the community should not be underestimated. It is necessary to support, include and expand one''s knowledge to continuingly be an active citizen. The project “The Middle Aged in the Society as Equal Citizens” target group are 50+ year old people from Põlva and Võru county and another target group are people who wish to contribute to the well-being of the middle aged and them being active members of society. There have been two supporting training programs to help to understand and find solutions to manage well in our ageing society. As a result of the program there are more people in the neighbouring areas who are knowledgeable of their opportunities to be involved in the society and communities, feel needed and can contribute their skills and experience in the development of the local area. The project´s partner is Põlvamaa Rahvaülikool who will participate in preparing and conducting trainings.
