Our population is aging, which presents many challenges for the modern society. The share of older people is increasing year by year due to regulated health care, nutrition and a higher standard, which means that the proportion of people who become dependent on the environment is increasing even though they want to maintain autonomy and independence for as long as possible. The opportunity for older people to remain active even in the old age is the key to facing the challenges of aging.

Alumni Club Alma Mater is organising a workshop on the topic of Interdisciplinary approach to active and quality aging, which will take place in the premises of Alma Mater, Slovenska ulica 17, Maribor, on Thursday, 7 June 2018, at 1700 hrs.

“We will listen to a lecture of prof. dr. Rado Pišot, director of the Scientific Research Center of the University of Primorska. Prof. Pišot is also the founder of the Institute for kinesiologic research and the president of the organising committee of international conferences, and manager of several national and international projects on the topic of active and quality aging in the home environment; Physical activity and nutrition for great aging, etc. As full professor, he teachers subjects from the field of motor skills and theory of sports and didactics.
