WELCOME DEAR SENIORS
Numerous institutions including the United Nations highlighted that unprecedented demographic trends urgently call for activities fostering intergenerational solidarity in our societies.
Fewer multi-generational families live under one roof. Parents often work full-time. At the same time grandparents and grandchildren are often separated due to regional distances.
Senior citizens, with a lifetime of valuable experiences, are in a unique position to support young people at important junctures of their personal development. This can include mentoring, helping with homework, or simply encouraging appetite for history, environment, and art.
Having a trusted senior friend who can give advice increases self-confidence. Young people who have experienced the trust and support of elderly people are better prepared to become responsible adults and role models themselves.
The possibilities for creative intergenerational activities are virtually infinite. In fact, they constitute the essence of human culture.
Join one of our programs and have a positive impact on the lives and dreams of the younger generations.
