| dc.description.abstract | As part of the Centre on Aging’s outreach to bring awareness of issues faced by older people in the Province, the Centre hosted a half day workshop on January 23, 2019 that focused on ageism in Manitoba. Over 70 participants took part in this event where ageist stereotypes in society were examined, and participants were asked to reflect on their own internal ageist ideas. A short presentation given by Centre Director Dr. Michelle Porter, outlined the existing definitions in the academic literature and from international organizations (e.g., World Health Organization) on ageism, discussed the effects, and looked at ways to reduce ageism in society. Several group and individual activities required participants to think of and identify examples of ageism; what actions can be taken; and discuss what specific types of strategies or activities/programs could be studied in Manitoba. This document provides a brief synopsis of the individual and group activity reporting. | |
