We notice the problem

Voices of the aged are not heard in the public debate
Decisions concerning the aged are made on the local and national level without consulting the issues with seniors.

The aged are discriminated
Much too often our society makes seniors feel redundant, marginalized and as if their knowledge and experience were obsolete. As a result, the aged deem their views and opinions not significant and therefore they believe their voices will not be listened to and taken into consideration.

The aged do not participate in the changes taking place in our country
The transformation process and a fast pace of changes in the country after 1989 caused that seniors find it extremely difficult to adjust to the new reality. Polish Integration with the European Union poses a threat of similar lack of identification among the aged with the ongoing changes. Therefore, we find it crucial that Polish seniors living within the UE structures will not find themselves excluded but will become active and fully aware participants of the social debate. Experience and knowledge of the aged is the potential we can contribute to the integrated Europe.
