What questions and concerns do people have when they think about their own ageing and old age? What will be the challenges for policymaking and society overall in the coming years? What services and policies are needed to ensure that both current and future generations of older people can age well?
Organised by AGE’s German member BAGSO in collaboration with AGE Platform Europe, this online seminar series, ‘An engaged civil society as engine for an age-friendly society: an international exchange’ will take place on 11 December 2024, from 2:30 to 4:30 PM CET.
The aim of this session is to reflect together on existing social challenges and develop visions for a society for all ages.
Participants will develop ideas for future policymaking that can serve as motivation and a starting point for participation in social transformations in general and for the revision of MIPAA/RIS (The Regional Implementation Strategy for “The Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing” for the UNECE Region) in particular. The workshop will also be an opportunity to present how civil society can contribute to this UNECE process.
The event series, which targets civil society organisations from across the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) region, includes two seminars per year between 2023 and 2026. It is organised by BAGSO in collaboration with AGE Platform Europe, the NGO Committee on Ageing Geneva and the UNECE, with the support of the German Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.
