EY 2012
European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between GenerationsDate: 14 February 2012
Venue: Committee of the Regions, Brussels
Population ageing presents a number of challenges for our society. This is why the European Union designated 2012 as the “European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations”. Active ageing is about creating a wide range of opportunities for older people to stay in control of their own lives. In the beginning of the European Year we invite local and regional stakeholders to discuss the theme.
The Forum will focus on the multilevel governance approach of the policy domain and will highlight how local and regional actors improve the conditions for active ageing in the three major thematic strands of the EY, each of which closely related to the competences of the CoR: Employment, Participation in Society and Independent Living. The Forum will consist of plenary sessions, bringing together European and regional policy makers, and of interactive workshops, presenting best practice from all over Europe.
