Social inclusion through Meaningful ageing

This European research project seeks to improve the position of elderly people living independently in European societies. The goal is to improve their social inclusion and to better understand their potential for personal growth. The research focuses specifically on their social needs and their need for a meaningful life.

The knowledge produced by the research will feed into the development of training programmes for various (occupational) groups: volunteers and professionals in care and welfare, as well as managers and policy makers.

The University of Humanistic Studies is responsible for the conceptual studies and a state-of-the-art analysis with respect to the elderly’s social needs, need for a meaningful life, talents and dreams of elderly people.

All reports and training programmes will be made available in Dutch, English, Spanish, German and Italian via the website: https://see-me-project.eu/
