National Senior Citizens Day recognises the contributions, wisdom and experiences of older adults. It encourages communities to honour seniors, support their wellbeing and value the roles they play in families and public life. The day also draws attention to age-friendly communities, intergenerational connection and support for older people’s independence.

Event suggestions:
• Creating community art around memory, identity, and participation
• Learning customs through welcoming group activities and guided conversation
• Hosting cultural circles that invite reflection, dialogue, and appreciation
