Thought Leader Webinar invite 10/09/18 – Ageing Equally

November 1, 2018 by Jeff Rubin

Did you know that October 1st marked the 70th Anniversary of International Human Rights Day? It also marked the start of a 70-day global awareness-raising campaign against ageism.

Why focus on Ageism? Because the stereotyping (how we think), prejudice (how we feel), and discrimination (how we act) against people based solely upon their age is prevalent worldwide. In fact, according to the latest research, it may be even more pervasive than sexism and racism.

Why should you care? Because ageism has serious consequences both for older people and society at large.

  • Ageism leads to widespread marginalization, poverty, and abuse of older people.
  • Ageism affects how people live, work, play, grow up and grow old in our society.
  • Ageism takes a toll on the physical, financial, social, and emotional health of individuals and families.
  • Ageism impacts the economic well-being of business and community, creates barriers to policy change and denies individuals the capacity and potential to contribute to the greater good.
  • Ageism is everywhere yet remains unchallenged largely because it is socially accepted and entrenched within our culture and institutions.

Why You’re Invited: Human Rights do not diminish with age. CHANGING THE WAY WE THINK, FEEL, AND ACT TOWARDS OLD AGE CREATES A SOCIETY FOR ALL AGES!

What to Expect from my webinar:

  • Education – You’ll learn about the issues and opportunities associated with Positive Aging
  • Engagement – in Dialogue with others who share your values and concerns and who may help you access resources and services
  • Empowerment – yourself to take action that benefits you financially and feeds you emotionally, spiritually, and socially.
