Austria | Ingrid Korosec Markus Keschmann | Österreichischer Seniorenbund | Vienna | mkeschmann@seniorenbund.at | https://www.seniorenbund.at/ https://www.facebook.com/ingrid.korosec |
The ÖSB is a successful and efficient organization for over more than two million senior citizens in Austria. The goal of this non-profit association is to use the experience and knowledge of the older generation to help develop the socio economic status of this country on a national level. We want to make sure that the elderly receive the same financial stability and autonomy and medical care, especially in the rural areas, as their children and grandchildren. One of the essential elements here is to have the generation 60+ actively partake in the political landscape, in Austria and the European Union. Also a big part of our work is to build a community for the seniors, to provide them with advisory and guidance in every aspect of the third chapter of life. To quote Ingrid Korosec, the president of the ÖSB, „our wealth of experience are the resources of tomorrow!“ | |||||
