"23 million people in Germany – almost one in three over the age of 14
– are involved in civil society. This is an impressive figure that we talk
about far too little. But today we need involvement in civil society more
than ever. The state could not perform all of the tasks that young and old
do for no money. Voluntary involvement is a very important component
of a society with a human face. The power of cohesion and helping each
other, caring for each other – this is a commodity that we can and have to
bring back to life in involvement in civil society, in voluntary work.
In view of the demographic challenge, the older generation in particular
will have an increasingly important role. After the career and family
phase it has a great wealth of knowledge gained through experience
and time. This potential must be made useful for society. But for this we
also need local authorities where the politicians and administrators,
responsible parties in educational facilities, associations and voluntary
organisations are open to the great demand for self-determined and selforganised
involvement by older people.
The model programme 'Experience for Initiatives' (EFI) is an important
step in this direction: around 1,000 older people have already taken part
in courses to be seniortrainers in order to learn something new and to
use their experience in many local projects – for the benefit of all age
and population groups locally. 'enior expertise teams' become reliable
partners and important pace setters for voluntary involvement in local
communities. Active senior citizens develop creativity, innovation and
a willingness to act. They are putting the cycle of give and take between
the generations back in motion and, at the same time, are drawing a new
picture of old age." (excerpt)... weniger
