AHRC workshop: What's age got to do with it?

Join Ballarat Community Health and the City of Ballarat as we welcome the Australian Human Rights Commission to deliver a FREE and interactive workshop that will examine the assumptions and stereotypes commonly associated with ageing and older people. Backed by research, this workshop is a must for individuals and organisations who work with older people, or who want to create an engaged and effective community. What to expect? • Engage in self-reflection exercises and small group discussions to explore your own attitudes and beliefs about age. • Develop an understanding of the social and cultural factors that shape these perceptions. • Challenge stereotypes about older people and their capacity, health, needs and wants. • Increase your knowledge and skills for developing and implementing age-friendly initiatives
