The cooperation between the Cyprus Third Age Observatory and European Parliamentary Candidate Andreas Apostolou has been ongoing since the organization's inception in 2015. Mr Apostolou has steadfastly supported the Observatory's initiatives to promote active, healthy, and dignified ageing, advocating for these causes both within the Cyprus Parliament and in broader public spheres. His efforts have focused on implementing policies that safeguard the rights and enhance the quality of life of older people.
During their meetings, the discussions centred on various issues affecting older individuals, such as combating ageism and older people abuse and encouraging their active participation in Cyprus' societal and economic activities. Recently, there has been a particular emphasis on leveraging opportunities provided by the European Union through the European Parliament. These opportunities include enhancing social services, promoting active ageing, and funding programs that support healthy and dignified living conditions for older people.
Mr Apostolou's unwavering commitment to advancing the proposals set forth by the Cyprus Third Age Observatory is a testament to his dedication. He has pledged to diligently work within the European Parliament to implement these initiatives and promote measures aimed at fighting elder abuse and ageism while also strengthening social cohesion. This commitment instils a sense of confidence and security in our shared mission.
These collaborations represent significant strides toward protecting and enhancing the rights of older people both in Cyprus and across Europe. The Cyprus Third Age Observatory and Mr Apostolou have agreed to maintain their partnership and to continue promoting joint actions designed to improve the quality of life for older people.
