• To inform about the risk factors involved in their age as well as the promotion of the practice of healthy habits.
• Strengthen the bases of information and research in all matters relating to the elderly, especially in the field of new technologies and the use of social networks.
• To promote the dignity of older people and the full exercise of all their rights and freedoms, such as their independence, participation, care and self-realisation.
• To establish spaces for participation and reflection on their needs.
• To analyse the social, cultural and economic aspects that influence the quality of life of the elderly.
