Seniors with Initiative
A program of events created by seniors for seniors.
About the Project
Every person has something they can share with others. We believe that experience, passions and skills don’t end with retirement.
Many seniors would like to stay active, meet new people and pursue their interests, but they don’t always have the right space or opportunities to do so.
That’s why we created Seniors with Initiative - a project that helps seniors turn their own ideas into activities for others. Through shared passions, it brings people together, builds new relationships and creates small local communities.
The project helps seniors turn their own ideas into activities that foster a sense of agency, encourage new connections and bring the local community together.
Main Goals
Tackling loneliness through shared activities
Empowering seniors
Nurturing the passions and talents of older adults
Building local communities
Supporting seniors in pursuing their own initiatives
How it works?
Submit an idea
Every initiative starts with an idea from an older adult. The senior proposes an activity they would like to organize for other members of the local community.
Preparing the initiative
We help develop a simple action plan, budget and timeline.
Dedicated support
We provide a microgrant, promotion, organizational assistance and volunteer support.
Initiative implementation
The senior leads the meeting and invites others to take part in the activity together.
Development
After the initiative ends, we help the group grow and encourage them to organize further activities.
Who is it for?
Seniors with Initiative is aimed at Wrocław residents who have reached retirement age and want to do something meaningful for others.
You don’t need any experience in organizing events. All you need is an idea, the willingness to take action and a readiness to work with others. We’re looking for people who have an idea for a shared activity and want to create a space around it for meeting others and building connections.
