Wise Up To Ageism is a 90 minute online session in which you will find out more about ageism. It is part of the Age Proud Leeds campaign to raise awareness of ageism and change negative attitudes about ageing and older people.

Open to all! Book your place.

The aim of Wise Up to Ageism is to raise awareness of ageism and encourage people to find out more, discuss and reflect. We also aim to help you to challenge ageism in your everyday life. The session explores the five key messages from the Age Proud Leeds campaign:

• Let's talk about ageism
  What is ageism and how widespread it is
• Ageism affects people of all ages
  Whether we are younger, middle aged or older - ageism affects us all
• Ageism. What does it do to us?
  Age discrimination has many negative effects and having a positive attitude to ageing can help you live well for longer
• Older, different, equal
  Older people are diverse and ageing and ageism affect us differently
• Time to feel good about ageing
  Ageing brings many benefits, share the positives and celebrate the contributions made by older people.

Wise Up to Ageism is delivered via zoom, and is open to all. You can book your own place or request a session for a group (up to 8 people), such as a community group, work colleagues, or sports team.
