Healthy aging

Live long and grow old healthily.
Today, that is no longer just a wish.
Many people already manage it.
In Stuttgart, too, life expectancy is rising.
That means:
People are getting older and older.
An important question is therefore:
How can getting older be
so that one can live as long as possible without illness?
And so that one can live independently for as long as possible.

The city of Stuttgart wants to achieve:
All residents can grow older healthily.
No matter whether they are rich or poor.
No matter whether they are men or women.
No matter where they come from.

The Wilde Bühne makes theater plays about the lives
of older people.
The plays are also about addiction and health.
and health.
The Wilde Bühne works together with the health department.

The plays are like real life.
Therefore, many older people can see a connection
to their own lives.

After the theater plays, people also talk about the topics.
This can be a help for many.
Maybe they get tips:
So they can make their own life better.
And they learn more about these topics.
And they realize:
I'm not alone with my problems.

There are these theater plays:

• Late Reading - Happiness in Old Age
• The journey of Odysseus
• Pleasure and intoxication

Improvisational theater
In improvisation the theater play is spontaneous.
It has not been rehearsed beforehand.

During the trainings you will learn about the topic of addiction in old age.
And how to deal with these addicted, elderly people.
The trainings are for relatives of older people.
And for employees from care and social services.
The training leaders also come to facilities.

At a program of "TrotzAlter" we have taken pictures
of elderly people.
The photos show the elderly people in their lives.
These people show through their lives:
Even in old age you can live independently.

In the exhibition you can see the photos.
And there are excerpts of conversations to read.

Every autumn we make the European Film Festival of Generations.
A generation is all people
who were born in a certain period of time.
For example, in the period from 1960 to 1980.
Or in the period from the year 1980 to the year 2000.
The Film Festival is for all generations.
Young and old people can meet here.
That is why we are happy:
We show the films at different institutions.
For example in senior citizen meeting places.
or at community homes and care facilities.

After each film we have an audience discussion.
Specialists are also present at the discussion.
The experts are from the senior work and age research.
And from the health sector.

We would like to organize events in all districts of
of Stuttgart.
For this we need you as experts on these health issues.
So you can help to make the health and the life of the citizens better.
You can help older citizens to strengthen their health and to lead a healthy life.

Together with you we want to make offers for health promotion.
The offers should be suitable for the citizens in the city districts.

Many people have to regularly take
take various medications.
Older people in particular need to take different medications regularly.
However, the medications must work well together.
Otherwise the medication can be bad.
That's why a medication plan is important.

The "MeinPan Stuttgart" project aims to help older people with their medication.
Dr. Eckart von Hirschhausen accompanies the "MeinPlan Stuttgart" project.

We organize events for the "MeinPlan Stuttgart" project.
The events are held in care facilities for the elderly.
The events are for older people and their relatives.
And the events are for the staff in the facilities.
You learn at the events:
How to make a plan for medication.

Do you have any questions about the project?
Or about the events?
