Cum poate fi combătută singurătatea în rândul vârstnicilor din România

In Romania, one in seven elderly individuals experiences significant loneliness, as reported by the Niciodată Singur Association. Many feel marginalized by society. A community space in Bucharest, the Senior Socialization Room, offers free activities to help seniors connect. Participants engage in physical exercises and poetry workshops, sharing their feelings of isolation and the need for social interaction. The coordinator emphasizes the importance of building trust with seniors, who may be wary of free programs. The initiative, supported by Kaufland Romania, aims to reintegrate seniors into social life, allowing them to form friendships and contribute their knowledge. This community support is crucial for combating loneliness among the elderly.
