Abstract

Institutions and organisations promoting activating the elderly play a crucial role in their mental, emotional and social life assisting them to achieve their relaxation in the period of their 'autumn of life.' Third Age Universities offer the elderly the possibility to continue their education, to develop their passion and to expand their knowledge, which triggers their mind and supports their values. Older people clubs, however, serve as the places for integration and support. Participating in the activities there facilitates making new relations and counteract the feeling of loneliness. Various associations and organisations working for the benefit of the elderly, such as some local support groups or non-governmental organisations, induce some social, health-promoting initiatives as well as voluntary service. Engaging in the social life, the elderly feel needed and fulfilled, which positively influences their internal peace. All the institutions contribute to the foundation of a stronger community in which the seniors find the feelings of support, development and belonging, which in turn helps them deal with the challenges of the older age and enjoy their peace of mind.
