Best practices on civic participation on active ageing policies

Active Citizenship decided to dedicate a project to the 2012 European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations. "Best practices on civic participation on Active Ageing policies" directly falls into the 6th European Patients' Rights Day, which will be celebrated as every year the 18th of April. This fundamental project will be concluded through the Conference "Active Ageing citizens at the center of EU health policy", to be held in Brussels the 10th – 11th May 2012.

Looking at ageing patients not as a problem to be dealt with but as active participants in the health care system problem solving, does actually imply to reverse the common perspective. During the Conference, Best practices on Active Ageing citizens at the center of EU health policy will be presented and discussed. The BP will focused on what healthcare services, civic associations and governments are doing in this area.
For this reason, collecting and sharing best practices from all EU countries, on what healthcare services, civic associations and governments are doing in this area can reveal the concrete benefits of this approach.
