Communities
Community empowerment is central to healthy ageing communities. Many cities in the world are investing in age-friendly environment. After retirement, older people are healthy productive and participating in civic activities. Recently these activities are named as community based social innovation (CBSI). Those are unique across the globe. In Japan, Kizuna saloons, exercise activities and silver citizen clubs are flourishing diversely in every city. We will observe such activities and highlight the notable events in this web page.
Furthermore, social prescribing is nowadays a practice in many places of the world. It keeps the people connected and integrated to the society through social participation. We will observe such activities and highlight in this page.
Broadly we are so interested in health promotion activities through the generations happening everyday in different places of the world. We would like to learn, highlight, connect and share lessons and experiences.
