WISE project

What is it about?

Older people - especially after retirement - are at risk of feeling redundant and useless, that could lead to the deterioration of their physical, psychological and mental health. We are looking for practices that help prevent this process by enabling seniors to play an active part in their community.

This project has been funded with the support of the Grundtvig Program of the European Union.
