Friuli Venezia Giulia (FVG) Region has worked on Age Friendly activities for the past 20 years. In 2014, the  Region planned a regional strategy for the promotion of healthy ageing that became known as the Regional Law ‘n.22/2014’. Connected to the regional law, it was established as an inter-directory technical table and it was developed as  two, three-year long programs.
In 2018, FVG launched a screening method for the detection of frailty in people aged over 74 years old (Prisma7) in four Districts of the Region and in 2018 the project will be extended to the entire Region.
During the last 20 years, the FVG Region has worked on initiatives in support of Active Ageing, and became members of several European Networks for Healthy Ageing:
– We are members of  the Community of Regions for Assisted Living (CORAL). The FVG Region activated through CORAL network and funded and directed by EU projects as: CASA, SMART CARE, ENGAGED and ITHACA;
– We are members of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA). It is an initiative launched by the European Commission to foster innovation and digital transformation in the field of active and healthy ageing.
– We are members of the Regional for Health Network (RHN), WHO Regional Office Europe in Venice.
Moreover we briefly describe below the projects that our Region activated:
– ASTAHG- Alpine Space Transnational Governance of Active and Healthy Ageing focuses on the governance of active aging;
– ITHACA InnovaTion in Health And Care for All. ITHACA promotes the creation of regional ecosystems to support Active Ageing initiatives and services and to encourage the development of innovative solutions in health care, increasing the efficiency of their implementation;
– CrossCare Interreg V-A Italy-Slovenia 2014-2020. The project promotes cross-border solutions related to the ageing.
