Applications for the second edition of Premju Anzjanita Attiva, close next Friday, the 18th of September.

The Awards will be presented in October, during a special evening event in Gozo, under the patronage of the President of Malta – Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca.

The Award is a celebration for the endless work, dedication and motivation undertaken by persons in the Active Ageing sector. This is an annual event which forms part of the celebrations to be held during the month of October, which is dedicated to the Elderly.

The Parliamentary Secretariat for the Rights of Persons with Disability and Active Ageing said that “the aim of this award is that to celebrate the milestones of these individuals and organisation that support the concept of Active Ageing and also the rights of Elderly Persons. And for the Government to show its appreciation to all of those who are working for a more inclusive society, where elderly persons and their families have access to more inclusive communities and encourage independent living.”

“The principle guiding this Award is that we have more just communities where elderly persons are more active within the community,” the Secretariat said. The selection panel for the Awards will be headed by Prof. Carmel Borg.
