Energy of the young and experience of the old

The project wants to use innovative ways to encourage seniors and volunteers from high schools and universities to solve the problems of leaving seniors with mobility impairments at the edge of the society, by employing 2 disadvantaged job seekers as a volunteer coordinator, leisure animator and work skills development worker. Here, the "energy of young people and the experiences of old" will be linked, and common activities will allow seniors to decide for themselves on their present and future. The target group of the project is therefore people and seniors with special needs and mobility disorders up to and over 65 years of age, disadvantaged job seekers, young volunteers - students from high schools and universities and the public. The project usefully connects several sectors (city, self-government as well as the general public), organizes an 'Open door day' in the House of St. Cosmas and Damian and will organize a sports day. It will also allow seniors to attend city council meetings. The project is being implemented in the Prešov region and will involve 25 seniors with special needs and mobility disorders from the House of St. Cosmas and Damian and 2 disadvantaged job seekers.
