SUMMARY:The Impact of Storytelling on Isolation in Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:IFA Global Cafe: In Conversation with Dr. Victor Kuperman and Ms. Nancy Siciliana \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the importance of connecting\, communicating\, and storytelling within the dialogue of isolation. The “Niagara Stories” project – run through a partnership between McMaster University\, the Seniors’ Computer Lab Project\, and Cyber Seniors’ Connected Communities Niagara – has allowed the opportunity for open conversations amongst Niagara residents. The project highlights the impact storytelling has on the sentiments of isolation\, as well as how people communicate experiences through interaction and language. \nTo share their comprehensive insights\, the Niagara Stories project organizers – Professor Victor Kuperman and Ms. Nancy Siciliana – will be leading a discussion on “The Impact of Storytelling on Isolation in Older Adults” in the IFA Global Cafe series. \nRegister here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUlf-2sqjkqHtdEuypehon2jHv5tF0fp9fh \n_____________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the NGO Committee on Ageing-NY\, please visit ngocoa-ny.org.

SUMMARY:[HLPF side event] Stakeholder Group on Ageing presents "COVID-19 Pandemic: A Stress Test of Global Ageing"
DESCRIPTION:SGA Official Side Event at the UN High-level Political Forum \nOlder persons have been among the first and hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. In many respects the pandemic could be viewed as a test of how prepared/or not Member States are for the rapidly ageing society. \nPandemics disrupt and have the potential to drive change. Only a whole-of-society\, whole-of-government approach can respond effectively to the dynamic challenges of this time. \nIn his report\, the UN Secretary-General presented new research on how longevity has the power to transform labour markets\, economies and societies. The recently released WHO Global Report on Ageism shows that one in two people hold ageist attitudes towards older people. \nThis side event will focus on: Health and Long Term Care\, Economic Development and Work and Technology in ageist environment during the pandemic \nRegister here: zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUofuqrrD4rG9XfaonPbRnBxmTDIDOXF4yw \nProgram \nWelcome: Ms. Erica Dhar\, Co-Chair\, Stakeholder Group on Ageing \nKeynote address: Prof. Andrew Scott\, Professor of Economics\, London Business School \nPanel moderator: Dr. Jane Barratt\, Secretary General\, International Federation on Ageing \n5 Minute Lightning Round Interventions \n\nH.E. Ms. Barbro Westerholm\, Member of Parliament\, Sweden\nDr. Ad van Berlo\, Chief Executive Officer and R&D Manager\, Smart Homes\nMs. Aura Sevilla\, Programme Consultant for South East Asia and Older Workers\, Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO)\nMs. Grace Chan\, Business Director\, Hong Kong Council of Social Service\n\nClosing remarks: Ms. Amal Abou Rafeh\, Chief of the Programme on Ageing Unit\, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) \nThis event will be available at no cost and a recording will be available following the live event.
