It is with great excitement that we announce the United Nations Intern Day of Older Persons theme for 2021: “Digital Equity for All Ages”. The #UNIDOP202, taking place virtually October 1, 2021, predicates the need for access and meaningful participation in the digital world by older persons.
The 2021 UN International Day of Older Persons will provide a platform for multi-stakeholder dialogue and serve as a call to action. The #UNIDOP2021 will adopt a person centered, human rights approach to ensure digital equity including adequate policies, access, digital literacy and safety for individuals of all ages.
