Hold on, be STRONG!

The aim

To promote active ageing, social inclusion and digital literacy among seniors, with a special focus on migrants and refugees — strengthening European values of solidarity, respect and cooperation while supporting seniors' mental, physical and emotional well-being.

Objectives

1. 1Holistic training for seniors — a 12-week programme covering digital skills, healthy living, creativity and stress management.
2. 2Promote social inclusion — reduce isolation through group activities and community initiatives.
3. 3Strengthen digital literacy — essential online skills for communication, services and lifelong learning.
4. 4Foster intergenerational learning — young volunteers as mentors, bridging generational gaps.
5. 5Support mental & physical health — structured exercise, trauma recovery and mindfulness techniques.
6. 6Build confidence and adaptability so seniors, especially migrants and refugees, rediscover a sense of purpose.
