Das Gemeinwohl im Waldviertler Wohlviertel und seinen 18 Mitgliedsgemeinden

What's it about?

We want to look at what people need to age with dignity! Our region is changing: the average age is rising, and more than two-thirds of people now live in households with 1-2 persons. Challenges such as care, support, and loneliness are affecting more and more families in the 18 member communities of our LEADER region Waldviertler Wohlviertel. We want to develop solutions together! Therefore, we invite you to our citizen participation events. Bring your ideas, experiences, and perspectives to support dignified aging and to relieve family caregivers! What is it about? · Community projects: care & support, relieving relatives, new forms of housing. · Strong networks: involving existing organizations and initiatives. · The association "Lichtblick": initiator of the pilot project in the town of Geras, "Dalleiner Hofzeit," a day center for older people.
