Positive Ageing Week

September 30, 2026 - October 6, 2026

3 elderly people laughing together for Positive Ageing Week

Positive Ageing Week is an annual event celebrated in late September to early October, dedicated to highlighting the positive aspects of ageing and promoting a more inclusive society for older adults. This week encourages communities to focus on the contributions, experiences, and needs of older people, fostering a culture that values and supports ageing with dignity and respect.

Positive Ageing Week aims to challenge stereotypes and change perceptions about ageing. It emphasises the importance of staying active, engaged, and connected as we age. The event includes various activities such as educational workshops, health and wellness sessions, social gatherings, and community projects that promote intergenerational interaction and understanding.

To celebrate Positive Ageing Week, individuals and communities can engage in activities that promote the well-being and inclusion of older adults. These can include organising fitness classes, hosting social events, providing educational resources on healthy ageing, and encouraging older adults to share their life experiences and skills with younger generations. By participating in these activities, everyone can contribute to a more age-friendly society.

To bring the spirit of Positive Ageing Week to your social media, here are some content ideas:

  • Share inspiring stories of older adults who have made significant contributions to their communities.
  • Post a poll asking followers about their favourite activities to stay active and healthy.
  • Create a photo contest encouraging followers to share images of intergenerational activities.
  • Highlight testimonials from older adults about their experiences and advice for healthy ageing.
  • Share tips on maintaining physical and mental well-being as we age.
  • Post videos of fitness routines suitable for older adults.
  • Share infographics on the benefits of positive ageing and staying active.
  • Highlight personal stories of individuals who have embraced positive ageing.
  • Encourage followers to spend time with older family members and learn from their experiences.
  • Post a guide on how to create an age-friendly community.
