Ageism translates into a violation of rights and is generally expressed in the form of infantilization, depersonalization, and dehumanization of older people. In the current context, a coordinated social response is needed to tackle ageism, which must involve increasing visibility and commitment to combat ageism, as well as identifying institutional and social strategies and tools to address it.

Let's talk about ageism

  Date:
 Type: Others
 Line of Knowledge: 
 Location: Donostia - San Sebastián

In recent years we have heard a lot about the term "ageism", a concept that, as the word itself indicates, refers to a type of discrimination based on age. Currently considered one of the most widespread forms of discrimination, along with racism and sexism, it is still largely unknown to society in general. Given the topicality and growing interest that seems to generate this issue, from the Lugaritz housing construction team we have decided to organize a talk in which we will have Elena del Barrio, co-director of Matia Institute and expert on the subject.

Age discrimination, i.e. ageism, occurs in many ways in our society, without us being aware of it. How does it happen? How does it affect us? What consequences does it have on people, on the economy, on health and on society? How can it be combated? What can the media do? What can I do?
