SHINE 2Europe projects in evidence at the Activating the Community in Combating Isolation and Loneliness of Older Citizens

On the 1st of July 2022, Carina Dantas, CEO of SHINE 2Europe, was a speaker at Aproximar’s event dedicated to “Activating the Community in Combating Isolation and Loneliness of Older Citizens”.

Carina Dantas shared the panel with Rosa Almeida and Djamila, presented by Joana Portugal where networking, the participation of all stakeholders in the transformation of inclusive communities and the focus on prevention throughout life were actively discussed.

During her speech, the CEO of SHINE 2Europe had the opportunity to present the SHINE and NET4Age-Friendly networks and the STEP_UP, BIG, DESIRE, SDD, SAA and Culture on Prescription projects.

The event, framed within the NEXT DOOR initiative: Fostering neighbourhood participation to protect and care for elderly citizens, was a privileged moment of sharing and reflection on this theme, contributing to the enrichment of the knowledge built so far.
