PeoPo's annual call for proposals - Let's take care of our elderly

According to the National Development Council, Taiwan will become a super-aged society by 2025, which means the proportion of people over 65 years of age will constitute over 20% of the population. Taiwanese society must respond to many dimensions if it wishes to counter the challenges this super-aged society will pose. We have partnered with community colleges and invited citizen journalists to share their concerns on this year's PeoPo them, "Our Aging."

In addition, this year's PeoPo 30-Minutes program will also have "Our Aging" as its theme. Both community colleges and student CJs from campus media departments have been invited to provide differing perspectives on Taiwan's aging society conundrum. We hope that this year’s call for proposals on this pressing issue will attract the participation of many new citizen journalists.

根據國發會的預估，臺灣即將在2025年進入超高齡的社會，也就是說65歲以上的老年人口會佔總人口超過20%的比例。面對超高齡社會的來臨，臺灣社會需要因應的面向相當的多。而今年PeoPo公民新聞平台的徵案主題，特別以「咱的老年」作為主題。而且我們特別與社區大學合作，邀請公民記者共同來關心。

另外今年的PeoPo 30 mins的節目，也會以「咱的老年」來作為一個主題，不只社區大學參與，我們也要邀請校園採訪中心的學生公民記者，透過不同的觀察來提出臺灣高齡化社會下所需要關心的面向。希望今年的徵案主題可以廣邀更多的公民記者一起來參與。
