Terms and conditions
Concept:
The aim of the contest is to have a look at Europe’s 2012 theme Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations through the creative insight and interpretation of professional and amateur cartoon artists from all over the world.
2012 is the European Year of Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations. A chance for all of us to reflect on how Europeans are living longer and staying healthier than ever before — and to realize the opportunities that represents.
Active ageing can give the baby-boom generation and tomorrow's older adults the opportunity to:
• stay in the workforce and share their experience
• keep playing an active role in society
• live as healthy and fulfilling lives as possible.
It is also key to maintaining solidarity between generations in societies with rapidly increasing numbers of older people.
The challenge for politicians and stakeholders will be to improve opportunities for active ageing in general and for living independently, acting in areas as diverse as employment, health care, social services, adult learning, volunteering, housing, IT services or transport.
