International Day of Older Persons recognises the contributions, rights, and wellbeing of older people. The United Nations observance encourages communities to challenge ageism, support inclusion, and address issues such as elder abuse, accessibility, social connection, and respectful care.

Event Suggestions:
• Host an intergenerational storytelling or interview activity
• Create a display about ageism, inclusion, and respectful care
• Discuss how communities can support older people’s participation and wellbeing
