Ongoing opportunities with The Aging Awareness Initiative

Open Opportunity
Moises Almao

I watched two webinars of the Longevity Project Virtual Panels. I learned about how the elderly are affected nowadays; when looking for a job, workplace discrimination, media representation, and healthcare disparities. Additionally, I just learned about the Intergenerational Future, which focuses on fostering collaboration and understanding across different age groups to build a society where people of all generations can coexist and work together. These panels are very helpful if you're trying to find out more about the age disparities in our society, for example: wealth gaps, job opportunities, and access to healthcare.
After acknowledging all of this information, I can say that we need to create an intergenerational future for the sake of our community. We can build relationships with people from other generations, encourage initiatives of equitable policies regarding aging, and volunteer in programs that connect people of all ages. Join or create an intergenerational program in your community and educate others about the value of generational diversity. Together, we can shape a better tomorrow!
