The theme of the European Year 2012 is active ageing and solidarity between generations. The decision on this was made in June 2011. The motto of the European year is: "Always at the optimal age!"
The executive group has prepared a national action plan, according to which the main goals of the European year in Finland are:
To promote understanding of the importance of active ageing and collaboration between generations for the development and maintenance of people's participation and well-being during their whole life course.
To promote the dissemination of practices that support active ageing and co-operation between generations, in workplaces, schools, day care and NGOs.
To gather information on different generation groups and their operative cultures. During the year, unbiased information is to be distributed and the fostering of positive age attitudes in our society is to be promoted.
The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health coordinates the project and has established an informal steering group. The Finnish Institute of Occupational Health is responsible for organizing the European year in Finland.
