Practical guidelines aimed at older people’s organisations on how to influence the decision-making processes that concern them and on how to be part of innovation processes. More specifically, the toolkit is designed to supports organisations in advocating for an age-friendly European Union; influencing EU policies that are relevant for older people; influencing policy makers and other stakeholders at all levels; building partnerships; and staying up-to-dated on relevant EU policies and funding opportunities. The toolkit provides: background information on ageing and why age-friendly environments are needed; an action model that can be adapted to a wide range of campaigns; tips and tricks to help organisation plan and assess their strategies and actions; and tools to implement your actions. It also includes useful tips and information to other civil society organisations or movements committed to influencing the EU or national policies that are relevant for them.
