The Age Friendly City 'TAFCITY' - The city accessible to all age groups
The TAFCIty project
The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched an initiative aimed at promoting the creation of "age friendly" environments (accessible to all age groups). An Age-Friendly network of cities has been set up, including San Sebastian in Spain and Maribor in Slovenia (all partners in the project).
The TAFCity project brings together seven partner countries - Spain, the United Kingdom, Hungary, Portugal, Slovenia, Belgium and Romania, transferring innovative educational methodologies to understand the concept of "Active Aging". The project promotes "The Age Friendly City" in partner cities and municipalities.
This project has developed a training program to promote 'The Age Friendly City' in which you are invited to participate.
A certificate of participation will be awarded at the end.
