The rationale of the ActiveAge project was rooted in the general and complex framework of the population ageing issue, that is both a challenge and an opportunity for most countries in Europe, especially in conjunction with the current negative trends affecting world-wide the economies at a global level.

The Project was focused on the following three subthemes:

1. - Age and the economy
2. - Age and care
3. - Age and inclusion

The active ageing paradigm is still far from finding comprehensive adoption in the various domains. But citizenship for older people presupposes citizenship for everyone. This approach will help to reframe the problem of ageing as an “opportunity” for empowerment of older persons with enhanced capabilities.

This report aims at providing ideas to identify some crucial points upon which employment, health and social care policies for elderly people should focus on.

The third Transnational Workshop Exchange Meeting of the Active AGE project, related to the issue of Age and Inclusion, took place from October 13 until 15 in the city of Starogard Gdanski (Poland). During the workshop partners shared knowledge and experiences concern local policies and practices about ageing and social exclusion. A significant number of case studies were submitted by the cities to the Lead partner.

They mainly concern these subthemes:

• Elder Abuse

• Gender and Poverty

• Intergenerational connections/solidarity

• Social Isolation

• Digital Exclusion

The main objectives as well as the activities and the lessons learned of these experiences, presented in Starogard Gdanski by the Active Age partners are going to be shown in the following pages.

This paper presents the “state of the art” on demographic changes and active ageing strategies at the European level. It traces a broad picture of the European debate, focusing on experience at the national and local levels. The first section illustrates the EU demographic trends and policy guidelines; the following sections will analyse the main issues emerging from these trends, the key drivers and the main policy domains (economy, care services and insecurity) and will present examples of projects, initiatives and strategies aimed at coping with these challenges.
