Join the AGE Annual Conference 2025: Intergenerational Solidarity in Europe
17 June 2025 | 9:15 – 13:00 (CET) | Hybrid – Online and Leuven (Belgium)
Fostering dialogue and cooperation between different age groups is crucial to combat ageism and age discrimination, promote social cohesion, enhance awareness of experiences, perspectives and challenges shared among different generations.
This is why we decided to dedicate our Annual Conference on Intergenerational Solidarity in Europe – Multistakeholder Dialogue. It will take place on 17 June 2025 from 09:30 to 13:00 (CET Time).
For the first time ever, the EU has a Commissioner dedicated to Intergenerational Fairness, Youth, Culture and Sport, Glenn Micallef, whose priority is to prepare an EU Strategy on Intergenerational Fairness that ‘takes fully into consideration the impact of today’s decisions on future generations, and seeks feedback from all age groups.’
This Annual Conference will seek to contribute to the Intergenerational Fairness Strategy, discuss the common goals and issues that younger and older generations share, how older people contribute to our society on an equal footing with other generations to face current and future challenges, and how intergenerational solidarity can be a way to combat ageism.
Different areas will be covered such as the labour market, health and care services, housing, mobility, digitalisation, and climate change.
It will bring EU officials, representatives from EU equality bodies and networks, civil society organisations and key experts and partners. Plus, a special guest will be revealed soon. Stay tuned!
