On March 27, 2026, the First Meeting of the Stakeholder Board of the project “Active Aging Centers: Improving Social, Physical and Mental Health for the Well-being of Older Persons” was held.
The project focuses on changing policies for elderly care and providing policymakers with a framework for integrated policies that will enable older people to have equal opportunities and lead dignified, active and meaningful lives.
Considering the nature of the project, the Ministry of Social Policy, Demography and Youth, the Centers for Social Work from the Eastern Planning Region, and the municipalities of Berovo, Probishtip and Shtip were identified as stakeholders.
The representatives of the stakeholders present were introduced to the idea and objectives of the project, the activities implemented so far by the Center for Development of the Eastern Planning Region and the project partners, experiences and good practices that were recognized in the presentations of other project partners were shared, as well as the next steps in the implementation of the project.
The discussion focused on what services are currently offered to adults, what problems and obstacles institutions face in carrying out their tasks and responsibilities, what needs to be done to improve the well-being of the elderly, and what measures and activities should be taken in the future.
The ActAge project is implemented with EU funding, within the framework of the Interreg Europe Program.
