Success Stories from 2023 & 2024 editions
In the 2023 and 2024 editions, we supported AGE Full Members during the European Parliament Elections by helping organisations align the commitments of Members of the European Parliament candidates with AGE’s proposal for a European strategy for age equality and the launch of the AGE Manifesto. These efforts achieved significant success and impact.
