The vision

Innovating the way we age well in Europe

The European Week of Active & Healthy Ageing is THE European networking & exchange platform for providing innovation support and inter-disciplinary cooperation for active & healthy ageing. 

The European Week of Active & Healthy Ageing brings together collaboration partners from around Europe, who have a stake in promoting & supporting healthy ageing to innovate new service models, such as in health & care, lifelong learning and employment.

The Decade of Healthy Ageing

A plan for the future of us all: ageing well worldwide

Focusing on the second half of life, the World Health Organisation (WHO) published a plan that outlines key principles, strategies and actions that can be taken through sustained collaboration to bring about lasting change in the way we think, feel and act towards age and ageing. These will include better policies, programmes and practice to eliminate ageism in sectors including health, employment and education; tools to measure and assess ageism and disseminate age-disaggregated information; campaigns to reduce self-directed ageism and increase public knowledge and understanding of healthy ageing.
