Last month I had the pleasure to be invited to live illustrate for SAACY, a UKRI-project funded based at Kind’s College London. The Sciences of Ageing and the Culture of Youth project looks at how we talk and think about ageing and how the way we do so can affect our experiences and ideas of what ageing means. By dismantling ageism through innovative literature and scientific-based research, SAACY aims to develop policy change for the ageing population.
These two-days event, packed with inspiring conversations, panels and co-creative discussions with researchers, community leaders and policy-makers highlighted how ageing is a lifelong process rather than something that happens at the end of our life and how supporting flourishing can help tackle inequalities to make the most of later life.
