International Day of Older Persons

Cabinet has taken note of the activities which would be organised by the Ministry of Social Integration, Social Security and National Solidarity to mark the International Day of Older Persons which is observed on 01 October every year.

A national event would be held at the Swami Vivekananda International Convention Centre, Pailles, on Sunday 29 September 2024. The Senior Citizens Council would also organise residential workshops for the elderly at four Recreation Centres around the island in the month of October 2024 with a view to sharing knowledge on emerging technologies, health, road safety and security as well as sensitising them on elderly abuse and their rights as senior citizens.
