With the aim of encouraging contact between neighbors, especially the elderly, and strengthening local ties, the Ministry for the Family, Solidarity, Living Together and Hospitality, the Grand Ducal Police and GERO – Kompetenzzenter fir den Alter, have developed a campaign to promote neighbourliness and combat the social isolation of the elderly.
The central element of this campaign, launched on October 1 to mark the International Day of Older Persons, is a postcard to be filled in and placed in the letterbox of the neighbor of your choice. This gesture is a way of offering that most precious of things: time.
By emphasizing the values of solidarity, living together and proximity, participants are invited to (re)discover the ties that bind them to their neighbors, especially seniors, who are often particularly at risk of social isolation.
