The Alberta Age-Friendly Community of Practice (CoP) is designed to help communities that are pursuing age-friendliness to connect and share ideas, best practices and expertise. The CoP also works together on matters of priority to the group. The CoP has planned a five-session webinar series focused on how age-friendly communities can foster a sense of belonging for diverse populations of seniors. All sessions will be virtual.
The overall goals for the series are:
• Help to foster a shared understanding of the needs of diverse populations of seniors.
• Identify enablers to the inclusion of diverse populations of seniors.
• Encourage and facilitate a variety of local initiatives that support a sense of belonging for diverse populations of seniors.
