Alberta Age-Friendly Community of Practice (CoP) Diverse Seniors Webinar Series
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.

The opening session will delve into the fundamental principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) and explore how to transform the way we support diverse senior populations. Participants will be introduced to key concepts and insights for embedding EDI frameworks into organizations and communities. Together, participants will examine actionable strategies and practices that foster a true sense of belonging for all seniors, paving the way for the following sessions in the Diverse Seniors Series.
