The E-SENIOR+ project – coordinated by Ryder Albania Association and involving partners from six European and Western Balkan countries – is a transformative initiative aimed at empowering elderly citizens as active participants in democratic and public life. Responding to the CERV-2025-CITIZENS-CIV call’s Priority 3 on civic engagement, the project addresses the social exclusion, digital marginalization, and institutional underrepresentation of older adults and promotes intergenerational solidarity through mentorship programs and storytelling campaigns, fostering understanding and cooperation between seniors and youth.
(The project won the call but was not funded due to the limited budget available.)
