European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations

Worried about growing older? About your place in society when you're 60, 70 or 80?

There is a lot to life after 60 — and society is coming increasingly to appreciate the contribution older people can make. That’s what active ageing is about — getting more out of life as you grow older, not less, whether at work, at home or in the community.

And this can help not just you as an individual but society as a whole.

European Year 2012
