We are pleased to invite you to the conference: 'Towards a Multiage Society: The Cultural Dimension of Age Policies'
Conference theme:
UNESCO's Member States, National Commissions, active ageing and cultural organisations, researchers and policy makers are invited to Brussels to discuss the importance of culture in relation to active ageing. Culture and active ageing seem to be difficult to link politically. Thus, the aim of the conference is to create a basis for a future co-operation between the two areas. Through panel discussions and workshops the theme will be explored.
The conference speakers and participants come from international, national and regional active ageing and cultural organisations from all over Europe, the UN and the UN system, researchers etc., all experts in their fields. The conference is organized in co-operation among EUNIC Brussels/CICEB, UNESCO's Management of Social Transformations (MOST) Programme, AGE and the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC). Key moderator at the conference is Steen Langebæk, President of AGE and Vice-President of all Danish Cultural Institutes.
Furthermore, a thematic film festival will take place at the Cinema at Berlaymont from 22 to 28 November. On November 29, the EESC hosts another cultural aspect of the programme: a vernissage with young German photographers, “Forever Young”, who have worked together with the organizers on the theme this past year. In addition, during the conference, conference participants are invited to experience theme related cultural events at the national cultural institutes (EUNIC Brussels/CICEB partners).
