Stop ageism
Our White Paper revealed how COVID-19 has exposed the urgent need for further recognition and protection of the rights of older people in Commonwealth countries.
Through CommonAge, I have been afforded the opportunity to tell the story of Ageing in South Africa. I have met wonderful and inspiring colleagues from across the world who have been extraordinary in sharing their knowledge and generous with their support. I have grown in my resolve to take forward the ageing agenda as we work towards a society for all ages.
“As I now sit back and reflect on social and culture wellbeing through the CommonAge Life stories, which my organisation participated and having networked with “Oomph!” team [at the CommonAge Elders Forum], I have come up with an idea to start a proper exercise centre in my facilities which will also boost the social interaction between the youth and the older persons.
“My newly made friends through the networking in the conference has given me support and encouragement in this sometimes lonely venture, which even in my local village I feel well set to continue advocating for Elderly skilled care, which sometimes is met with misconceptions. My community has created more trust and I’m sure this will go a long way to making this program successful,”
