Three
associations in Artiče, Slovenija, especially Fruit growers' association
Artiče, are proof that older man can be very active in local community if they
meet their interest/occupation. Members of associations acquired new skills,
knowledge, values, etc., and they also see themselves as important members
which help in the development of their
community. They are willing to prepare ideas, suggestions, discuss and
co-decide about the development of their local community.
