The Hellenic Longevity Center’s mission is to work for the rights and well-being of older adults through education and raising awareness, as well as advocating for policies that enhance their social and economic participation.
We promote a world where everyone, regardless of age, can have access to services and resources that allow them to live with dignity and autonomy, and we work to realize the vision of a society where all people live with dignity and purpose, fulfilling their goals and dreams, regardless of their age.
Our organization aims to combat age-based discrimination and to raise public awareness surrounding the issues faced by our older fellow citizens.
Our Goals
ADVOCACY FOR THE RIGHTS OF OLDER ADULTS
We work towards safeguarding the fundamental rights of older adults and ensuring equal access to healthcare services, social welfare, and other infrastructures that affect their quality of life.
HEALTHY AND ACTIVE AGEING
The Hellenic Longevity Center supports and promotes initiatives aimed at healthy and active ageing, both through physical activity and nutrition programs, and through psychosocial support. We believe that healthy ageing includes maintaining mobility, mental alertness, and social engagement.
Furthermore, recognizing the critical importance of care, we methodically design certified educational programs for the empowerment of informal and professional caregivers. This goal allows us to provide specialized knowledge leading to more effective home care, improving the quality of life for individuals receiving care and reducing unnecessary or unavoidable burdens on the public health system.
EDUCATION AND AWARENESS OF SOCIETY
Through seminars, informative events, and educational programs, the Hellenic Longevity Center aims to raise public awareness about longevity issues, life values, and ageing.
At the same time, we provide education and information to older adults, so they can face the challenges of everyday life with confidence and independence.
In this context, we place special emphasis on promoting Digital Inclusion. The design and implementation of targeted educational programs (up-skilling and re-skilling) in new technologies and digital skills is a core priority, in order to ensure the equal participation of all members of society in the digital economy, avoiding digital exclusion and leveraging their experience in the new working environment.
COMBATING SOCIAL DISCRIMINATION
Age discrimination is a form of social inequality that must be combated. At the Hellenic Longevity Center, we give a voice to older adults and support them in claiming their rights and actively participating in social and economic life. Our goal is to build a society without exclusions, where age is not a barrier.
PROMOTING LIFE VALUES
We recognize that the life experience of older adults is invaluable and that the values they carry—such as wisdom, resilience, and a sense of community—can form the foundation for the development of a more humane and collaborative society. The Hellenic Longevity Center works to promote these values so they can be passed down to younger generations.
SHAPING THE LONGEVITY SOCIETY
We act as a catalyst for intergenerational collaboration, digital inclusion, and the design of sustainable economic and social systems that transform increased life expectancy into enhanced quality of life and economic opportunity for all.
