Tbilisi is the capital and largest city of Georgia, located in the eastern part of the country along the banks of the Kura River. The city has a rich history that spans over 1,500 years and has been influenced by various cultures and civilizations over the centuries. The old part of Tbilisi, known for its charming architecture and unique atmosphere, is one of the most fascinating areas of the city. The houses with wooden balconies contribute to the unique charm and character of Tbilisi. They are an important part of the city's cultural heritage. In recent years, significant efforts have been made to restore and preserve these historic houses, ensuring that the unique architecture and cultural value are maintained for future generations. Older people carry a wealth of knowledge about traditional crafts, folk tales, and historical events. They are often involved in preserving Georgian culture and passing on this knowledge to younger generations. Older people in Tbilisi often play a central role in their families. The Georgian family system is traditionally strong, and grandparents often live with their children and grandchildren, contributing to their upbringing and care. Many older people are active in their communities and participate in social activities such as religious services, community gatherings, and traditional festivals. They are often the custodians of traditions and local folklore. Although access to health care has improved in recent years, challenges remain. Many older people use both public and private health services. The pension system in Georgia provides some financial support to older people, but pensions are often low. Many older people therefore depend on the support of their families. Religion plays an important role in the lives of many older Georgians. The Georgian Orthodox Church is a central institution, and many older people actively participate in church services and religious rituals. The city of Tbilisi offers various services and programs to support older people, such as day care centers and medical clinics.

Her peaceful moment in the sun reflects the enduring strength and cultural richness that older generations bring to Tbilisi.

Tbilisi is de hoofdstad en grootste stad van Georgië, gelegen in het oosten van het land aan de oevers van de rivier de Koera. De stad heeft een rijke geschiedenis die meer dan 1.500 jaar teruggaat en heeft door de eeuwen heen vele invloeden ondergaan van diverse culturen en beschavingen. /Het oude gedeelte van Tbilisi, bekend om zijn charmante architectuur en unieke sfeer, is één van de meest fascinerende delen van de stad. De houten balkonnetjes zijn een belangrijk onderdeel van het culturele erfgoed van de stad. In de afgelopen jaren zijn er veel inspanningen geleverd om deze historische huizen te restaureren en te behouden, waardoor de unieke architectuur en culturele waarde voor toekomstige generaties bewaard blijven. Ouderen dragen een schat aan kennis over traditionele ambachten, volksverhalen, en historische gebeurtenissen. Ze zijn vaak betrokken bij het behoud van de Georgische cultuur en het doorgeven van deze kennis aan jongere generaties. Ouderen in Tbilisi spelen vaak een centrale rol binnen hun families. Het Georgische gezinssysteem is traditioneel sterk, en grootouders wonen vaak samen met hun kinderen en kleinkinderen, waarbij ze bijdragen aan de opvoeding en zorg. Veel oudere mensen zijn actief in hun buurt en nemen deel aan sociale activiteiten zoals religieuze diensten, buurtbijeenkomsten, en traditionele feesten. Ze zijn vaak de bewaarders van tradities en lokale folklore . Hoewel de toegang tot gezondheidszorg de afgelopen jaren is verbeterd, blijven er uitdagingen bestaan. Veel ouderen maken gebruik van zowel publieke als private gezondheidsdiensten. Het pensioenstelsel in Georgië biedt enige financiële ondersteuning aan ouderen, maar de pensioenen zijn vaak laag. Veel ouderen zijn daarom afhankelijk van de steun van hun families. Religie speelt een belangrijke rol in het leven van veel oudere Georgiërs. De Georgisch-Orthodoxe Kerk is een centraal instituut, en veel ouderen nemen actief deel aan kerkdiensten en religieuze rituelen. De stad Tbilisi biedt verschillende diensten en programma's om ouderen te ondersteunen, zoals dagopvangcentra en medische klinieken.
