About project

 

The project focuses on establishing social solidarity among seniors, aged people, members of the associations from Italy and Romania.

 

We want to offer our members, seniors, the opportunity of getting involved in volunteering activities not only in their countries but also abroad, in the benefit of disadvantaged persons, empowering their feeling of  better integrated  as European active citizens.

 

The seniors must desire and maintain the ability to play an active role in society, by learning, sharing experience, traditions, lifestyle, values of similarities and differences, while society must in turn encourage and accommodate this.

 

The volunteers will help the elders to care their healthy dietary habits. Advises, naturist campaign will be provided to diminish healthy problems, to improve their living condition and lifestyle, getting a correct diet to heal or prevent diabetics, heart illness.

 

Active European citizens through volunteering enable older people to enjoy a good quality of life: active life and natural dish is reducing some healthy problems better than the intake of medicine, encouraging the elders to be active, involved in social life, and events, expressing their creativity using the skills they are good at, such as gardening, handicraft, cooking traditional dishes from their places.

 

Motivation

 

For a successful Europe , we all need a new European conscience, the idea of belonging to the same space of European values, and the understanding of the meaning “active and healthy”.

 

Both organizations are very active in involving its members in important volunteering activities at local community also at international level.

 

This project will give its members the opportunity to cope with new experiences in the field of European solidarity in order to enable the volunteers taking part in this project, to develop their belonging to European citizenship and values in a pragmatic way.

 

The project will also contribute to increase people’s awareness of the other cultures, traditions and lifestyle. This will let them develop tolerance and a deeper understanding, appreciation of cultural diversity.

 

In particular our Grundtvig SVP, ACTIV EU -Active European Citizens through volunteering- is a project that wants to promote the well being of people through volunteering, to improve the quality of their lives within the partner institutions as well as in their the local communities.

 

Both partners will create a set of suggestions regarding active and healthy lifestyle, information on how to look for genuine food, biological food, which is not genetically modified so that people can learn to preserve their health in later life.

 

By seniors volunteering project, they will made an important contribution to enable health diets promotion, to mediate and advocate in the respect of human rights and equality in our countries and Europa.

 

The project ACTIV EU will also contribute to the well being of people, improving the quality of life within the partner institution, also in the local communities, through creating a set of suggestions regarding active and healthy lifestyle, health promotion, enabling, mediating and advocating, in the respect of human rights and equality as living the same Europe.
