GW’s University Center for Aging Health and Humanities (CAHH) collaborated with the GW Honey Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service, Georgetown University’s Health and Aging Program, and a diverse group of older residents, students, and policymakers during a virtual event in October. The session’s goal was to design strategies for ways to make communities more age friendly.
Sponsored by AARP’s 2021 Community Challenge Grant Program, the event was divided into two, morning and afternoon, sessions. During the invitation-only morning session, 65 participants were divided into breakout groups to create an actionable idea that would solve a problem such as housing, abuse, fraud, neglect, employment, and lifelong learning. In the afternoon session, 82 participants joined for presentations on social innovation which allowed for feedback and questions.
