| Annotation | The Age/inc Project (2005-2007) examined the role of older people confronted with poverty and social exclusion in the implementation of National Action Plans on social exclusion (NAPs). In order to facilitate older people'S participation in the process, Age/inc Project developed a workshop tool-kit as a methodology for organising participatory meetings. This report outlines the Age/inc Project in its European Union (EU) context and its main objectives: strengthening participation of older people; further policy development in the social inclusion process; and enhancing relations with other processes related to social exclusion. Older people's perceptions on specific social issues in the partner countries, and whether or not they have worked, are listed. Recommendations for older people's organisations from Age/inc transnational conferences are summarised. The project received funding from the European Community under the Community Action Programme to Combat Social Exclusion 2002-2006. (RH). |
