Activity of the Senior Council in the Second Term \u2013 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

15 January 2018 Senior Council, Department of Health and Social Policy of the City Hall, and Information and Educational Senior Centre co-organized a debate with representatives of senior communities and department heads of local authorities. The main topic of its agenda was discussion on possibilities to obtain a WHO \u201cAge Friendly City\u201d certificate for Opole. Our guest experts were Wojciech Bauer (President of the Centre for Senior Initiatives in the City of Pozna\u0144) and Katarzyna Krysi\u0144ska-Sowa (Project Specialist of the Senior Centre in Opole). The talk confirmed the meaning of our strive to acquire the WHO certificate.<\/p>\n

Senior Council passed a resolution \u201cThe City of Opole joins WHO\u2019s Age-friendly environments (such as in the home, community) to foster healthy and active ageing by building and maintaining intrinsic capacity across the life course and enabling greater functional ability in someone with a given level of capacity.\u201d Soon after that the Opole City Council passed a similar resolution.<\/p>\n

A letter of intent that had been previously prepared was submitted to WHO Poland and we were looking forward to receiving an early reply.<\/p>\n

Local daily \u201cNowa Trybuna Opolska\u201d organized \u201cMan of the Year Competition\u201d and two of our members were nominated to the award \u2013 Anna Czarnecka in \u201cCulture\u201d category and Leokadia Kubala\u0144ca in \u201cCharity and Social Activity.\u201d<\/p>\n

We also managed to accomplished another task featuring inspections to the local senior daily-care houses. This year we pay common visits to senior clubs all over the city.<\/p>\n

As far as our intergenerational agenda is concerned, both Senior and Youth Councils co-operated in holding the Fourth Edition of Easter Meal. They established nearby stalls selling tasty food.<\/p>\n

We also co-organized XX Anniversary Senior Days covering costs of another photo-box available for all participants as well as art workshops.<\/p>\n

It was the third time that two of our members, Maria Bia\u0142ek together with Jerzy Hume, led the celebratory street parade.<\/p>\n

Teresa Soko\u0142owska and Leokadia Kubala\u0144ca were invited by Senior Council of Chorz\u00f3w City to take part in the ceremonial session.<\/p>\n

A great many of Senior Council members participated in the benfit concert of Zofia Bielewicz (a famous actress from Opole) to commemorate her 90th birthday. The event was kept at the \u201eKochanowski Theatre\u201d premises and proved to be a huge cultural success in the city.<\/p>\n

We also conducted a series of workshops to revise and update Council\u2019s strategies and the most current roadmap is being presented at our homesite: http:\/\/www.seniorwopolu.pl\/rsmo\/strategia-dzialania.<\/p>\n
