Thanks to improved living conditions and medical intervention opportunities number of older people is rapidly increasing recently. With the critical structural changes, old age became severed from the profession, feminization, singularization, and impoverished. It is, therefore, crucial to keep this group active and happy to maintain individual and social well-being. 60+ Tazelenme University, the first third-age university of Turkey supports literate older people with third-age education and social support networks. COVID-19 pandemic caused many difficulties threatening the freedom and well-being of older people. 60+ Tazelenme University aims to produce life-saving projects with the understanding of "stay at home but do not stay passive". The purpose of this article is to introduce these projects. Projects such as Fresh Khizir, Fresh English, Fresh Food, Fresh Phone Chain, Fresh Knitting, Fresh Corona Diary, Fresh-Cocoons, Fresh Buddies, ensure that the older people who are at home under COVID-19 restrictions remain active. These projects inspire new concepts to support normalization in the post-pandemic period.

Com as mudanças estruturais críticas, a velhice foi desvinculada da profissão, feminização, singularização e empobrecimento. É, portanto, crucial manter este grupo ativo e feliz para manter o bem-estar individual e social. 60+ Universidade Tazelenme, a primeira universidade de terceira idade da Turquia apoia idosos alfabetizados com educação de terceira idade e redes de apoio social. A pandemia de COVID-19 causou muitas dificuldades ameaçando a liberdade e o bem-estar dos idosos. 60+ Universidade Tazelenme visa produzir projetos que salvam vidas com o entendimento de "fique em casa, mas não fique passivo". O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar esses projetos. Projetos como Fresh Khizir, Fresh English, Fresh Food, Fresh Phone Chain, Fresh Knitting, Fresh Corona Diary, Fresh-Cocoons, Fresh Buddies, garantem que os idosos que estão em casa sob as restrições do COVID-19 permaneçam ativos. Esses projetos inspiram novos conceitos para apoiar a normalização no período pós-pandemia.
