We encourage you to join, follow and PARTICIPATE in it, by sharing opinions and experiences of your entities related to active ageing and solidarity between generations, and, thus, help to the exchange and spreading of this topic that is a matter of interest to everyone. Many entities, as well as public or private bodies can contribute to it. 

The European Anti-Poverty Network Spain (EAPN-ES) and EAPN Madrid have presented on the occasion of the beginning of the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations, the Style Guide for Journalists "Look at seniors". 

Carlos Susías, president of the EAPN-ES has emphasise the media's fundamental responsibility to overcome stereotypes affecting seniors: "many times media conceive seniors as passive and dependants individuals, when they actually are active people in society, as reality shows".
