This interactive session will involve a presentation on the key findings of the first UN Global report on ageism, followed by an overview of actions taken at EU level to tackle ageism and opportunities for further action. This will provide a launching pad for a discussion where participants will be challenged to re-think attitudes towards age and ageing, reflect on how ageism affects them and their communities, and learn how they can contribute to help build a world for all ages in their context.
Prof Barbro Westerholm will speak on behalf of AGE Platform Europe.
