Caritas in Döbeln: Diverse offers for World Older People's Day for seniors!
On October 1st, 2025 it's that time again: International Day of Older People will be celebrated. This special day, established by the United Nations in 1990, aims to highlight the importance of older people in our society and promote solidarity between generations. Under the motto “YES to old age”, BAGSO calls on organizations, municipalities and clubs to present their own ideas and actions in order to make the diversity and commitment of older people visible. An excellent opportunity to raise awareness of aging in society and to promote a positive attitude towards old age, as emphasized by BAGSO.
In Döbeln, the Meißen Caritas Association is planning an information event to mark this day in which senior-friendly offers will be presented. The event on October 1st aims to demonstrate concrete support for older people and family caregivers. This includes not only outpatient hospice services for people in the process of dying, but also innovative offers such as the provision of a senior-friendly e-rickshaw. This is intended to help promote the mobility of seniors and enable them to lead a more active life Saechsische reports.
Diverse offers and support
The event will also include tablet and smartphone courses in cooperation with the Döbeln greenhouse association. This is intended to make it easier for older people to access modern technology and at the same time promote social interaction. The Caritas Association is also planning to take part in the nationwide short film day in December, which offers a senior program and focuses on the creative side of the older generation.
Another important aspect is the question of your own precautions. Many people want to help beyond their death and show solidarity with those who are in difficult life situations. The ASB in North Rhine-Westphalia reports that many people manifest their desire to do good after their death through a will. This not only provides clarity about one's own assets, but can also avoid conflicts among relatives; after all, a well-thought-out decision regarding the estate ensures peace and trust.
Social change and positive impulses
The importance of political and social participation of older people is not only addressed on World Older People's Day, but also through campaigns to strengthen positive attitudes towards old age. The focus is on seeing older people not just as passive recipients of help, but as active and valuable members of society.
Older people not only bring experience, but also great potential to help shape society. The actions of the Caritas Association and the BAGSO initiative are clear steps towards a respectful and positive approach to old age. World Older People's Day is therefore not only used for celebration, but also for active participation in social life, because: Healthy and committed older people are a benefit for all of us!
