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.
