Here I am - you are with us

 

 

The programme HERE I AM – YOU'RE WITH US is intended for the elderly people and is implemented at the District community Golovec.

 

The programme is based on different activities which are adjusted to the demands and capabilities of users. It is divided into two parts. One part of the programme is socialization and creativity and the other part is educational and advisable. We are offering different activities for the users: creativity workshops, basic language course (English), small library, medical hours, classes, individual consulting, sports, games, socializing and the elderly are sharing their knowledge.

 

The programme “Here I am – You’re with us” is intended for the people after their retirement. Because of the problems when facing with retirement and with the process of getting old, we also try to include the people who have few years until the retirement. We try to include them in the activities that are interesting for them and in which they can bring their knowledge and experiences.

 

Different social activities enable the elderly to be part of the society and to stay active in different areas. The population of the elderly is full of knowledge that often stays unseen. Including them in different activities and with the knowledge and experiences they have, they can bring a lot to the community. They help and care for integration and solidarity among local people and widen their social network (finding new friends).

 

Every age period has its own characteristics and the people have different missions. Accepting the knowledge that ageing is part of life is very important for the quality of life – before and after the age of 50.

  • spending the time qualitatively,

  • reintegration into the society,

  • resolving personal problems,

  • demolishing taboos of ageing,

  • Intergenerational cooperation,

  • taking care for your own safety,
