2ND WORKING SEMINARY
POSSIBLE ANSWERS FROM THE UNIVERSITY TO THE PROBLEM OF DEPENDENCE
First Notification

The new Act about Dependence and its application is such a widespread challenge for our society that nobody can remain out of it. Especially those of us who work with Older Adults carrying out activities for a healthy and active aging.

Therefore when the Directors of AEPUM, at the Meeting in Alicante, entrusted the Permanent Classroom of Open Training of the University of Granada the organization of the Study Conferences of 2007, they decided to use those conferences to think about the role of the University Programs for Older Adults regarding Dependence. They considered that the Collaboration's Agreement between AEPUM and IMSERSO was the perfect framework to carry out this activity, that is why the three institutions are working together to organize these conferences.

The program attached has been created with the purpose of having conferences that will make us reflect, with the participation of experts, and an open dialogue between the attending people. We expect the attendante of those who work with older adults university education or those working with active aging who want to know the reflections about this field from the university point of view.

By means of this first notification, the organization commission invites you to the activities of the program and requests the early confirmation of attendance, given that the number of attending people should not exceed fifty people. We will send the registration form in a second notification, and also the organizing structure of the conferences for the reservation of accomodation.

Given the difficulty of findind accomodation in Granada during those dates, we hope that you will confirm your attendance before the 20th of July.

For bureaucratic and administrative reasons presented at the last minute by IMSERSO, there has been a delay in the sending of the second notification and we had to change its content. We wanted to confirm and send the program together with the registration form but we had to postpone the dates for the Seminary to the following days: 29th and 30th of November 2007.

Now we have to wait for a new confirmation from the participants of the conferences and the round tables, therefore we apologize for the delay in sending the definitive program and we hope to be able to carry out the Seminary in early September. It will be then when you will have the information about the reservation of accomodation and the company that will take care of it.

Although we will send it again, we send you the registration form. Having your confirmation in advance will help us make progress in the organization.

We will send the information again in early September.
