The aim of the event is to gather input from other EU Institutions and civil society organisations.
We will debate around the following questions:
Which are the structural causes that have led to the elderly care systems to become some of the most contagious and lethal factors of this pandemic?
What are the strengths and weaknesses of the various care models in the EU?
Which are the civil society perspective and proposals for a new care model for the elderly?
