EU ACTIVE- Volunteering in Christmas time-December 2013

This is a Grundtvig Give two years project that try to establish social solidarity among adults, seniors, aged people, members of the associations from Noto, Sicily, Italy and Craiova, Romania.
 We decided to find a way through our cooperation to exchange our experience in volunteering in the benefit of unfortunate persons of our communities. 
We aim to offer our members, seniors, the opportunity of getting involved in volunteering activities not only in their countries but also abroad, empowering disadvantaged persons with the feeling of  better integrated  as European active citizens.
 The seniors in this way will maintain the ability to play an active role in society, by learning, sharing experience, traditions, lifestyle, values of similarities and differences, while society must in turn encourage and accommodate this. 
The volunteers will help the elders to care their healthy dietary habits. 
Advises, naturist campaign will be provided to diminish healthy problems, to improve their living condition and lifestyle, getting a correct diet to heal or prevent diabetics, heart illness.
Active European citizens through volunteering enable older people to enjoy a good quality of life: active life and natural dish is reducing some healthy problems better than the intake of medicine, encouraging the elders to be active, involved in social life, and events, expressing their creativity using the skills they are good at, such as gardening, handicraft, cooking traditional dishes from their places.
