Abstract
Old age is being prolonged while medical benefits and care for older people are improving. However. this increase in life expectancy has been accompanied by socially devalued roles. A cultural change is required
that considers ageing to be a non-disabling individual or group process: the people affected can still develop their abilities and contribute
to society. The Implica-acció Project is a response to this need. encouraging measures that stimulate activity in older people in Granollers.
