Challenging Ageism

Challenging Ageism


Description
Gain the knowledge and confidence you need to recognise and challenge ageism wherever you see it, including within your own behaviour and how you communicate with others.

Challenging Ageism will bust some of the myths that surround the ageing process while, at the same time, shining a light on the common assumptions and behaviours that are contributing to the problem.


In this one-hour course, you will explore what ageism is, where it comes from and the serious consequences it has for older people and the societies they live in. You will improve your understanding of ageism and its consequences, learn how to recognise ageism, including within yourself, and explore a range of proactive strategies you can put in place to challenge ageism wherever you encounter it.
