RetirementAge – The New Stage of Life, self-expression and communication

The obsolescence is society's demographic process stage which we can not escape. The ageing of society rises a lot of social, economic and health problems which are actual both to older people and to family members and the whole society. Without these problems older people meet also with psychological problems connected to getting used to the new stage of life where a huge amount of free time appears, financial possibiliities are worse, health problems appear, the number of communication partners reduces, the meetings with workmates and familiar people reduces. There is active isolation of older people from active social life. Therefore the majority of senior people live successfully. If a person has loving people around him so then he feels very good even if he/she is retired. But there are people who feel very lonely after retirement and do not know what to do. It is very important not to let senior people feel not useful, keep in touch with them and communicate.This project seeked to adopt retired people to new way of life stage. Advised how to find various forms and ways of occupation.We seeked for it while organizing psychological discussions- oval tables, supervisions (retirement as a new stage of life; experience and using family reliquary while communicating with younger generation; psychological adaptation while taking part in pottery, weave, art therapy group).We prepared the descriptions of all these therapy activities and put them on project's web page that other could use it too. We prepared the advice brochures for people who prepare to get retired. We organized mutual teaching/learning courses for two different generations (seniors and youngsters) where they shared their experience and tought each other of new things.
