Age Awareness Week, Saturday 25 September to Saturday 02 October 2010, organised by the Changing Ageing Partnership, takes place around International Day for Older People (01 October each year).
It celebrates the diversity of older people's lives and highlights the positive contribution older people make to our society.
This year's theme of ‘recognition’ will challenge negative attitudes about older people’s contribution to society, how we engage with older people and also stimulate public debates on the importance of recognising older people’s skills, experiences, knowledge, achievements and contributions now and for future generations.
Already there are more than 30 events scheduled to take place as part of the week including art exhibitions, films, discussions and seminars in Belfast; information events in Omagh, Downpatrick, and Portadown; volunteering events in Ballymena and Newry; and dance and drama displays in Derry, and Castlewellan.
