Entr’ages asbl
(Belgium)
Entr’âges asbl is a non-profit
organization whose goal is to
provide
a "meeting place" for all
generations. Entr’âges aims to
develop
positive attitude towards age,
eliminate stereotypes and
struggle
against all forms of age
discrimination. To rebuild a
stronger sense
of community in our culture, we
are working to bring together
members of all generations. As
regards the elderly, we strive
to celebrate their unique
abilities and honor their
special roles.
The organization is more than
twenty years old. Generally
speaking,
work is done in two ways: first,
at the grass roots level, we
work
directly with the people (all
ages, from seniors to children)
we use
and highlight memories of the
elderly and share them with
youngsters...creating events to
bring them together- and
secondly,
Entr'ages undertakes the
intellectual work of conducting
studies,
maintaining documentation and
implementing pilot projects.
These two
aspects come together at the
conclusion of each project, when
we
produce a publication, addressed
to a wider audience.
