The primary goal of ECOAGE is to empower older adults from Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities to become environmental mentors to the younger generation by having an active role in inter-generational efforts on sustainable environmental practices in their own communities, while fighting the impact of the loneliness pandemic in older age.
Our main project’s objectives are to empower older adults to be socially active by sharing historically environmentally-friendly practices with children and young adults, enhance their hard and soft skills in mentorship, hence increasing their confidence, participation in the society and sense of usefulness, revive and promote the adoption of old and environmentally-friendly practices across the younger generations and empower and promote senior entrepreneurship.
