Age-friendly environments has been a constant theme of IFA’s Global Conferences on Ageing, which aim to bring global perspectives and ideas on healthy ageing together to drive further change. The 16th edition held in Bangkok, Thailand from 27–30 June was no different.
Two workshops on how accelerating the age-friendly movement can deliver impact during the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing were organised by WHO with the support of Global Network members and the IFA, a Network affiliate.
Together, we spoke to conference attendees about the importance of developing national age-friendly programmes and what we can learn from the fantastic work being done in low- and middle-income contexts.
Summaries from the sessions are coming soon on Age-friendly World. In the meantime, check out the Global Network in action at the conference below! |
