NewGenAge works with universities and organisations to improve how ageing is taught and create new pathways for experienced older adults to continue contributing through education, research and consultancy.
Ageing is still too often taught and discussed primarily through decline, dependency and care. These assumptions shape professional education, organisational decisions and opportunities in later life.
NewGenAge challenges ageism by improving how ageing is understood in education and by creating pathways for older adults’ knowledge and experience to remain valued in the workforce.
Strengthening gerontology and related education so students, professionals and institutions understand the diversity, capability and contribution of people in later life.
Developing ways for experienced older adults to remain visible, connected and valued through consultancy, teaching, mentoring and project work.
Older adults should help teach ageing, shape its study and apply their expertise through meaningful work.
Enhancing Capacity in Neuroscience Education is a developing international network connecting educators, researchers and practitioners to strengthen neuroscience education across health disciplines and the lifespan.
