We invite you to a debate during the 14th Mazovia Development Forum
titled The Power of the Silver Tsunami, or the Activation and Role of People Aged 50+ in Society!
Representatives of different generations, experts, and people aged 50+ will take the floor to jointly reflect on the role of seniors in contemporary society. The main theme will be the impact that older individuals have on the labor market, culture, and social life, as well as the challenges they face.
The discussion will begin with an analysis of the impact of European funds on the development of seniors in Poland, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of their presence in our country. We will look at how these funds have helped older generations by supporting their professional and social activity. Then, participants will consider what values and lessons they have learned from their mothers and grandmothers – how the wisdom of previous generations influences their current attitudes and approach to life.
In the next part of the debate, we will focus on the phenomenon of 'senior modernity,' or the ability of people aged 50+ to find their place in a modern world full of technological innovations. There will also be a perspective from younger generations, who will share their observations on the relationships between seniors and new technologies.
The culmination of the conversation will be the topic of older people's work – the challenges they encounter in the labor market and the opportunities that can support their professional activity in a rapidly changing reality.
The 'Power of the Silver Tsunami' cycle aims to highlight the potential of the 50+ generation and to present how their experience, values, and energy can influence the development of society as a whole.
