Empowering Senior Voices Shaping Age-Friendly Neighbourhoods in the City North

Join us for the launch of the Empowering Senior Voices report, showcasing how older adults in Melbourne's City North precinct used citizen science and participatory research to identify opportunities and challenges for creating more age-friendly neighbourhoods. Drawing on the Stanford Our Voice methodology, the project strengthened inclusive civic participation by training older residents as ‘citizen scientists’ to become active contributors to urban decision-making and shape City North’s future. The event will present key findings and bring together researchers, community members, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss how community voices can inform positive social change. Who can attend? · Older Adults Interested in Age-Friendly Neighbourhoods · Professionals Developing Services or Products for Older Adults · Community, Policy and Health Sector Professionals · Researchers, Innovators and Students · Anyone Who Is Interested in Learning More About Healthy Ageing A panel discussion will follow the presentation and report launch, providing an opportunity to reflect on the project's key findings and discuss ways to embed community inclusion in shaping urban innovation to promote positive ageing.
