Older people's participation as a right: experiences of good practice

Participation is a right and a tool that people have not only to promote and influence the democratic health of the country and its institutions, but also to take part in those elements that affect people's lives and improve certain elements of their own well-being.

The aim of this conference is to go deeper into the good practices that are being developed in relation to the participation of the elderly, going deeper into some of the elements that were dealt with in previous conferences. With this aim in mind, expert profiles and people involved first-hand in the participation of the elderly will take part in the event.

The activity, held online, is aimed at senior citizens, technical staff and/or volunteers from social entities, as well as representatives of public administrations working with the elderly.

Seating is limited, so please confirm your attendance by e-mail to leo.canals@eapn.es before 17:00 on 17 May.
