engaging Prague

"We plan to conduct and test an outreach educational program with microlearning units to assess how e-health literacy can be improved for elderly people." - Kristina Barczik

"Because aging is everybody’s business, we need to take a people-focused approach rather than a life-stage perspective." - Lisa Warth

"On the labour market there are many groups of people who are invisible. This invisibility comes due to age, because you are a woman, or because you do not live in a capital or big city." - Jana Skalková Ministerstvo práce a sociálních věcí

After a successful first day, we are looking forward to round two and ready to welcome more inspiring speakers – more ideas, more voices, more coffee. Doors opening shortly!

"Dignity, autonomy, fellowship, and support: if they are strong, and if none of them is missing, our world can, I hope, be a little better and it will be easier to say with confidence that old age belongs with us." - Ruth Šormová

"We all want to engage in combating inequalities in society, but in particular in long-term care, to support inter-generational growth." - Kai Leichsenring

The door is open, the first guests are already picking up their badges – coffee is ready, and so are we! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
