[Toolkit] Ageism Film & Discussion Event Toolkit

This Toolkit is designed to help organizations plan for and host discussion event(s) on ageism using film to support the discussion. This Toolkit was designed based on lessons learned and feedback received from the March 2023 Golden: Ageism Awareness events, hosted by Age-Friendly Calgary and the THIRD ACTion Film Festival, in partnership with communities across Alberta. The Golden: Ageism Awareness events were live broadcast to 12 locations across Alberta and online, including: Banff, Calgary, Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Grande Cache, and Innisfail. Over 250 people attended an in-person event and 120 people attended online. This Toolkit aims to support organizers in hosting a free in-person event(s) by providing planning guidance, templates, and tips. Guidance will be provided to host: • a single stand-alone event held at one venue, or • a coordinated set of events consisting of one main host venue (“The Host”) live broadcasting to several other venues (“Host Partners”), and these will be distinguished where necessary.
