INTERGENERATIONAL SOLIDARITY THE WAY FORWARD: Proposals from the NGO Coalition for a 2012 European Year for Active Ageing and Intergenerational Solidarity

In April 2008, supporting the suggestion made by this coalition, the Slovenian Presidency of the European Union announced that it was proposing to declare 29 April European Day of solidarity and cooperation between generations. The first EU Day was officially launched on 29 April 2009. Since the launch of the day OWN has embarked on a series of intergenerational projects with St. Mary's Holy Faith School, Killester, Dublin 5.
