What
We announce CARE (Collaborative approach of Rotaractors to elderly)!
Together we want to raise awareness for our elders. Especially in the corona pandemic a lot of elderly people experienced social isolation and loneliness. They were put at high risk by seeing family members or participating in the community. We rather talk with our friends about mental health but the mental health of our family chiefly of our grandparents has to be talked about, too.
The winning team: Katharina Weingartner, Adnan Mujanovic, Alissa Drohberg,
When
On the second third of July 18-24th, we are wanting all of your fellow Rotaractors to participate in our Global Social project.
How
Therefore, we want to encourage you: go with your club members to your local old people’s home and spend time with the habitants. Go for a walk, make music together, share stories, play a game, or read to them. Give them your time by highlighting theirs and showing that you CARE!
Ask the interesting question for our Rotaract community: “What is mental health for you?” and publish the answers + whole day/project on social media.
Why
Because we CARE! With the generation of our grandparents, there is a lot to learn about how to deal with life, exciting stories from a whole different century, and a lot of life experiences on how to complete appearing tasks in life.
Unfortunately, mental health, especially in older generations, is still a stigmatized topic, and mental health issues are not seen as proper illnesses. Still, in raising awareness together, giving Elders a safe space to talk about their problems we can ”detaboo” the topic – together, as one big Rotaractian family!
