​The project PAGES aims to support the global combat on ageism and to foster intergenerational cohesion at community level, by upskilling adult educators/ community workers on how to engage older adults in learning. It will envisage the co-creation of an Intergenerational programme, using creativity and culture to develop tolerance and respect for age diversity. 

---

The specific objectives are to:  

1. Promote awareness around the importance to talk and counteract ageism in society;  
2. Upskill adult educators on how they can engage older adults in lifelong learning activities in the community, by involving them in an action-learning programme; 
3. Combat interpersonal and self-directed ageism by intergenerational non-formal education activities, targeting young and old people;  
4. Strengthen the European collaboration between partner organisations in the field of ageing, by endorsing the global campaign to fight ageism.  

Deeper into the topic

The PAGES project introduces innovative features in the scope of supporting the global combat on ageism: 

Promotion of community-based programmes and use of community and outside spaces to promote intergenerational contacts, together with adding artistic, cultural and creative activities. 

​Development of a service model that explains and describes all the stages and the different activities used in the intergenerational programme and how it feeds into each  country’s local context.
