In the rural areas of the Austro-Hungarian border region, the problems of the aging population and the emigration of the younger ones occur in parallel. The traditional model of the extended family, in which the younger ones took care of the elderly, threatens to disappear. Among other things, due to their professional activity it is not possible for nursing family members to stay at home. Due to increasing life expectancy, more and more people are being affected by the challenges of elderly care. To ensure that quality of life does not decrease dramatically, the social care system needs to be reconsidered and comprehensive new initiatives taken. The objectives of the project are to meet these challenges through sustainable, inclusive solutions, to improve the quality of life and to improve the well-being of the elderly and their relatives in the border region. Our approach is a cross-border networking of caring communities on a voluntary basis. To achieve these goals, we are developing a strategy and methodology for creating caring communities, taking into account local needs through the involvement of relevant stakeholders. The capacity of local and regional institutions and specialized organizations (social and health care) will be strengthened through the training of trusted persons who coordinate the caring communities. Through development of a bilateral model we create the organisational framework for cross-border volunteering. In addition, we are mobilizing the population of the border region, especially the elderly, through social media solutions as well as subject-specific and communication activities. The cross-border cooperation of the involved actors will finally establish the self-sustaining, active, innovative and common network of caring communities. Information added on 2020-05-15, regarding the mitigation of the effects of COVID-19 (the coronavirus pandemic that started in 2019) (English language only): Chance B, one of Co-AGE project partners designed a concept to support people over 65 who have an increased risk of severe COVID-19 infections and who may be even more lonely and/or socially isolated due to social distancing. They match volunteers and coordinate supportive activities. (English)
