The Partner-Finding Tool
The objective of the project is to challenge young people to have a creative vision about demographic ageing that acquires considerable importance in the EU.
To confront demographic change in Europe 85% of EU citizens consider important financial support in promoting initiatives and projects that unite the young and the elderly (Eurobarometer of 2008).
The activities provided for transnational initiative will be a set of workshops in which emphasis is the active participation of young people through non-formal education.
It is hoped that young people will interact with the elderly in a new language, simple – an intergenerational language -, creative, within an active citizenship fighting all forms of discrimination, especially discrimination based on age.
Engage, challenge and encourage youth to give your creative vision through photography / other means of art as a way to combat discrimination based on age;
