Adieu 2006
Our institute has done lots of works this year.
Inside, we have developed many programs for active aging and empowerment for older people such as Social Drama, Contents on Prevention of Elder Abuse and Re-designing Program for older person, informatization of the elderly, Dementia Support Program for Dementia Family, and Cyber Family Program which is really precious one for our wellaging.
Abroad, we held Active Aging Forum as well as introduced Namhae as a Healthy City in the 2nd General Assembly and Conference of the Alliance for Healthy Cities. Also, we visited SeniorNet in the USA and decided to cooperate for creative Senior Culture on the internet. Moreover, we are currently preparing 2007 Namhae Active Aging Conference in Asia Pacific as the Secretariat Office. We appreciate all your kind concern and continuous encouragement with all our heart. We wish great blessing from God on 2007 for all of our valuable supporters. We sincerely wish you a Happy New Year and promise to do our best for wellaging in this world.
Yeonje Silver College in Gyeongsang National University reached the end of semester.
80 old people in Yeonje-gu and the Research Institute of Science for the Better Living of the Elderly have had class in Yeonje Silver College through Senior Re-designing Program from March to December this year.
Senior Re-designing Program is the program to help the seniors to find information in the cyber space to find the way for them to engage in social participation actively.
Also, it aims to help the seniors to realize the old age is the second life time to try new challenge through the program and prepare themselves for their second life.
The program progress helps the elderly to change their negative concept of society, and family as well as the uneasiness of his or her intrinsic & extrinsic change.
Besides social issues, they are encouraged to discuss how they feel about Senior Culture, develop relationship with their family and neighbors, and have positive attitude and active thinking on the environments around them.
Also, they learned passionately in the fact that aging in the informatization era is not calamity but opportunity to have a chance for society participation.
Especially, some of them felt happy by sending their family greetings and congratulation card via e-mail, giving an advice to the adolescents on the bulletin board at our Wellageing website.
We hope for all of the students in Yeonje Silver College who put Active Aging in practice this program for the past year that the program has helped design a new lifestyle.
