AGEING CASCAIS
Study, strategy and plan on aging: old age and social policies in the municipality of Cascais
Description

The main objectives of the Cascais Ageing project were to develop a study, a strategic framework, and an action plan focused on ageing, old age, and social policies in the municipality of Cascais. The process involved broad participation from experts, practitioners, and citizens—even amid the challenging context of the pandemic.

Grounded in action research and co-construction as core methodological approaches, the project was also informed by the principles of critical gerontology. It adopted concepts that reject the notion of ageing and old age as merely a burden to be carried by the "active" segment of society.

Instead, the project emphasizes the importance of recognizing the diversity of ageing experiences and advocates for public policies that promote new paradigms—ones that integrate the challenges of sustainable local economic development while fostering inclusion and caring relationships.
