Actions in 2009

Three working groups within the Advisory Council:

• group 'quantitative research': active participation in the study of the needs of seniors by the VUB university, results published in June 2009
• group 'qualitative research': research into minorities, postponed because of the priority that the City gave to the quantitative research
• working group 'information for seniors': active seniors work with a delegation of the Advisory Council on an information network for seniors, they prepare the themes for afternoons and do the evaluation

Actions in 2010

Two working groups within the Advisory Council:

• working group on the 'Seniors Guide': a group of volunteers from the Advisory Council is working on a guide (for the general public, organizations and services) about everything on the territory of the City of Brussels for seniors (publication January 2011)
• working group 'information for seniors': continue the work

Since 2009, the Advisory Council of the Seniors also shows interest in the other Advisory Councils of the City and participates in the councils that have a link with seniors. A member of the Advisory Council participates in the Council for Families, 3 members participate in the Council for Brussels of foreign origin. Collaborations are possible around common themes.
