Age and Migration

Reaching out to communities

Information sessions are organized in places where ageing migrants live, involving specialized social and health services personnel as well as an intercultural mediator from the cultural community concerned. Drop-in help centres provide beneficiaries with individualized information and put them in touch with the facilities competent to address their problems. Recreational, sporting and cultural activities are organized to combat isolation, focusing on physical and mental well-being and encouraging encounters. The project also aims to strengthen collaboration with players in the health and social services in Vaud and raise their awareness of interculturalism in attending to migrants.
