Just a friendly reminder that volunteer applications for the AFE 2.0 Leadership Table and Action Hubs are due on September 4, 2018.
Are you passionate about issues that affect Edmonton’s aging population? Are you an innovative thinker? Do you enjoy collaborating with other like-minded individuals to test new ideas? If this sounds like you submit your application! We’re looking for dynamic individuals who can mobilize their networks to achieve the vision of AFE 2.0.
AFE 2.0 will focus on four key priority areas: Reducing Ageism, Supporting Aging in Place, Promoting Intergenerational Connections, and Responding to Diversity.
What could this work look like?
- Informing the design of public spaces with all generations in mind
- Reducing the stigma associated with ageist attitudes and behaviour
- Promoting positive perceptions of aging
- Helping Edmontonians to understand what is needed to age in place
- Nurturing partnerships that contribute to inclusion and promote and support a sense of belonging
- Continuing to celebrate the contributions of Edmonton seniors
- Encouraging connections between generations
