28th – 30th September 2011
Dublin, Ireland
The 1st International Conference on Age Friendly Cities is hosted by the World Health Organisation and the Age Friendly Communities project, which is funded by the Ireland Wales Programme.
The conference will provide thought-provoking presentations providing inspirational and experience-based learning, relevant case-studies, practical frameworks and other planning and implementation tools from leading-edge international thinkers and leaders of successful initiatives; and the opportunity to forge future working relationships with other relevant initiatives, participate in active and focused discussions, and consider models of how to address commonly shared challenges on the specific elements of the WHO Age-friendly City Framework and on implementing Age-friendly City programmes.
The conference programme is built around three main themes: Social and Cultural Connectivity, Built Environment and Building Momentum for the WHO Global Age-friendly Cities initiative. It consists of plenary and concurrent workshop sessions. Each plenary session addresses one of the main themes. Each set of workshops focuses on various aspects of each of the three themes. This is to facilitate delegates who may wish to ‘track’ in a concentrated way one of the main themes of the conference through their participation in the concurrent workshops.
