,Since Passion for life belongs to the Seniors themselves the users have had great chance to define the problems and possibilities. The Road map for instructors is continuously uppdated with the help of the seniors. This is very valuable. During 7 ys several seniors have helpt the programme to become better. Many telephone calls, letters, SMS, mails have reached us. The content in written instructions are updated by Qulturum in cooperation the the seniors. This has been of great importence because we often see that people want to do the programme their own way and then important factors can be missed. The road maps are written in Swedish and English.
7½ ys ago the pilot started and after a year it ended in a programme. Passion for life
1.In the pilot a psychologist made personal deepinterviews with all participants.
2.Two ys after the pilot was finished a questionaire was sent to the 24 participants in the pilote group. 20 of 24 persons answered the questions
1. Passion for life has given me joy and encouragement in my everyday life
2. Would you recommend a friend to participate in a passion for life circle?
Results: 4 persons did not answer. 19 of 20 persons answered the questions with yes. Many comments were added describing how the seniors hade improved in their daily work.
3. In the personal improvement work with the Lifewheel analysis (PDSA) the seniors could follow personal progress over time. This was a very good tool to register and measure personal processes.
3. In the region of Skåne, southern part of Sweden, we have educated 500 circle leaders. After each eduction the participants get a written questionnaire evaluate the courses.
The results measured in the PDSA wheels point out for the individual how successful the process has been.

Passion for life started out as a pilote programme. From the beginning we emphasized that Passion for life belongs to the Seniors. It was not the administrators baby. After 1 ½ year it become a programme. A spread plan was early managed. and therefore there was no delay to go from pilote to programme. During these 7½ ys senior questions have come much in focus and this has been an unexpected och valuable event fro us. Very early we have had many visitors at our homepage which shows the growing focus on senior qustions during this time. Good economic planning is necessary.

In Passion for life we want to generate empowered seniors who have learnt to use tools to live a good dailay life for the rest of their lifes. The good life style will help our seniors to use the hospital resourses when the really need them.
The wider impact is that enlightened and well experienced seniors will add a healthy life style to their life.
The seniors will be good examples for the younger generation. According to research are elderly happier than younger people. A suggestion is that younger people learn from elderly concerning structure of daily life. Elderly can learn much from the younger generation.
A next step in Passion for life can be to arrange Life cafés with Seniors and Juniors who learn from each other.
In Passion for life where the elderly use the Life Wheel, the key stone in Passion for life, every senior can see and measure their own personal improvement. They make the improvements within different themes wich WHO recommend when working with elderly. This themes are safety at home, food and drink, social capital, physical training. To these four themes the seniors can add more themes. Much in focus for elderly today is My Medicine. A special café is dedicated this area, and questions on medicines are aswered att every café. Falling an be a lesser problem than today.
