Nowruz for elderly Danes

This year we decided to organize several activities for the elderly.  Among them are many who feel lonely and in need of new experiences and new contacts.

Our first event as such was Nowruz-Eastern New Year. Members of our Organization have told and showed visitors of the Sankt Josef Aktivitetscentret  how  Nowruz is celebrated in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan.

There is no doubt that our guests enjoyed the event. Just look at the pictures! Our volunteers also enjoyed the event by talking about what is dear and important for them. The Danish society is continually debating on topic, how to involve immigrants in public life, volunteer work. Our recipe is simple: use the resources of the migrants, their knowledge, and interests. That is why our projects aimed to acquaint  Danes with the cultural traditions of countries where our members come from.
