Intergenerational Solutions to Combatting Ageism Across the Lifespan

Join Generations United for our webinar on April 24, 2024 from 2:00 - 3:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Ageism is detrimental to our health and well-being and costs billions. Intergenerational initiatives that promote engagement and intentionally focus on developing authentic relationships between people of different ages offer great promise for addressing ageism. People of all ages report feelings of happiness, belonging, purpose, and well-being after participating in intergenerational activities.

During this 1-hour webinar, we will learn more about the World Health Organizations Global Campaign to Combat Ageism and their guide Connecting Generations: Planning and Implementing Interventions for Intergenerational Contact. We will hear from a panel of experts sharing how intergenerational initiatives are working to combat ageism. Join us to celebrate the kickoff of Global Intergenerational Week (April 24-30).
