Youth and Seniors Association is a non-profit organisation dedicated to building strong, meaningful connections between younger and older generations. We believe that vibrant and resilient communities grow when people of different ages learn from one another, share experiences, and create together.
Our mission is to promote social inclusion, lifelong learning and active community participation through intergenerational activities, educational programs and cultural initiatives. By bringing youth and seniors together, we create spaces where knowledge, skills and traditions are passed from one generation to the next, strengthening mutual understanding and respect.
A core focus of our work is intergenerational learning through practical activities, especially in areas such as cultural heritage, community engagement and everyday skills. Inspired by international cooperation and Erasmus+ mobility projects, our members organise workshops, shared activities and learning sessions where seniors act as mentors and experience-holders, while young people bring fresh perspectives, creativity and energy.
International projects and courses have played a key role in our development. Through Erasmus+ mobilities, our members have gained new competencies, improved intercultural communication skills, strengthened self-confidence and learned how to work in diverse, international environments. These experiences are actively shared within the organisation and the wider community through presentations, workshops and public events across different regions.
We place strong emphasis on inclusion and well-being. Our activities are designed to be accessible to people with fewer opportunities, and we pay particular attention to emotional support, participation and a sense of belonging. As a result, many seniors report improved social and emotional well-being, while young people gain valuable life skills and inspiration from working alongside older generations.
Today, Youth and Seniors Association continues to grow, attracting new members and expanding its activities at local, regional and international levels. We are proud to be part of the Erasmus+ community and grateful for the opportunities it provides to strengthen intergenerational dialogue, empower individuals and create lasting positive impact in our communities.
