Initiated by members of Poland’s Universities of Third Age, as well as senior citizens’ organisations, this is a body which will furnish, at a high level, a platform for representation of the interests of the elderly, for dialogue with parliament, senate and government.

Its initiators say, it will simply make sure that senior citizens live better, with better money and dignity, and remain active.

Although the Parliament in itself proves that exclusion is not on the table for Polish over-sixties, Poland has one of the most rapidly ageing populations in Europe.
