We bid you a warm welcome to the homepage of the
European Senior Citizens' Union (ESCU)

With more than 400,000 members, the ESCU is the biggest political body representative of senior citizens. We want every member country to put into practice our guiding principle:

“We senior citizens are the mainstays of society in a changing world!”

  • We are rooted          in the concept of mankind in the Christian faith.
  • We recognise           the calling of mankind to engage in freedom, solidarity and justice.
  • We know                   that economic success, justice and solidarity are not exclusive but complement each other.
  • We strive towards            an active civil society, which works on a principle of freedom with responsibility.
  • We call                       therefore for personal independence and ask for only as much help from the state as is absolutely necessary
  • We say                       “Yes” to all ages from birth to death as Nature has ordained for us. We celebrate the abilities and creative power of the over-50s and 60s which society today desperately needs.

Our mission:

  • Cooperation
  • Collaboration
  • Co-determination
  • Co-responsibility

You can get involved as well by clicking on the pages of our website to see for yourself how important our fields of activity are - for society and for you too!

Thank you for your interest

Yours
The European Senior Citizens' Union
