B: Treating someone differently because of their age.
Ageism includes stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination based on age. It can affect people of all ages.
B: Learn about aging and spend time with people from different generations.
The World Health Organization identifies education and intergenerational contact as two of the most effective ways to reduce ageism.
A: An activity where people of different ages meet, share and learn from each other.
Intergenerational activities are based on mutual exchange: every generation has something to contribute and something to learn.
B. Creating opportunities for people of all ages to interact, contribute and learn from one another.
Simply bringing different age groups together is not enough. Meaningful interaction and mutual learning are what make intergenerational activities valuable.
A: More confidence, stronger connections and less loneliness.
Activities that bring different generations together can help people feel more connected, build confidence and reduce feelings of social isolation and loneliness. Stronger social connections can also contribute to a greater sense of belonging and well-being.
