The overall objective of this conference, held on International Human Rights Day, is to highlight the different manifestations of ageism (self-inflicted, interpersonal and institutional) in different contexts (social, health and participation). The aim is to raise awareness of these ageist manifestations and to learn about the action plans put in place to combat it in social and health care, hospital, participation and leisure settings. The ultimate goal is to disseminate and promote a positive, diverse and realistic view of old age and ageing and to generate debate to reduce ageism.
