Towards an Alpine Age - Friendly Environment

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Alpine Space

Date of latest update: 2023-08-11

Description

Description (EN):

A growing ageing population and increasing number of isolated older people demand new approaches and political commitment. Therefore, the WHO developed the concept of sustainable age-friendly environments (AFE), using an integrative approach to optimize the social and physical environments and promote active, healthy ageing and participation in society. The TAAFE project uses this concept to build a participatory framework - TAAFE model - for developing an age-friendly environment and an improved delivery of services in the Alpine Space (AS). Public and municipal officials will benefit from the TAAFE toolkit (WP1) by applying co-creation methods that involve local older people from the beginning of the project and services development (reaching out also to excluded "hard to reach" groups and provide solutions against social isolation of older people) as well as other relevant stakeholders like NGOs, research institutions, service providers, political actors. In each partner country a TRIO will be established, which is composed of: 1. team of municipal officers, 2. representative of older people target groups, 3. methodological facilitator. At transnational workshops TRIOs will be trained on how to implement the TAAFE toolkit in their local environment in a pilot, ranging from assessment of needs to consensus building, participatory planning and action implementation (WP2). At transnational workshops TRIOs will be also involved in the design strategy process (WP4) and evaluation activities (WP3). Sustainability will be provided with TAAFE Strategy for sustaining achievements in pilots and Alpine Space Strategy for exploring up-scaling possibilities and for creating a transregional and transnational network (WP4) that will be consolidated via a Common Memorandum of Understanding. At the end also other outputs (toolkit, manual for implementation, evaluation model) will be revisited based on learned experiences for usability in other Alpine space environments.

Achievements (EN):

As the population is ageing and an increasing number of older people are isolated, new approaches as well as political commitment are needed. The concept of sustainable age-friendly environments (AFE) developed by the World Health Organisation uses an integrative approach to optimise the social and physical environments of elderly people. It promotes their active, healthy ageing and their continued participation in society. T.A.A.F.E enhanced the capacities of public authorities and service providers to develop sustainable age-friendly environments in the Alpine Space, through participatory co-creation methods.

Expected Results (EN): Level of capacity of social organisations and public authorities to deliver innovation in the field of social services and services of general interest through transnational networking

Expected Outputs (EN):

The participatory approach will increase capacities of communities and regional stakeholders to respond to the needs of older people on the basis of clear evidence and it will result on 6 improved/new service designed to support active ageing. The active role of older people in the common creation of services will increase service accessibility, improve their satisfaction, decrease their risk of loneliness and enhance their sense of “ownership” and belonging to the community. The project network includes municipalities, facilitators from the academic and the non-governmental sector and older citizens. It serves as a platform that enables knowledge exchange and diffusion of innovative services for the social inclusion of older people.
