Our AgeWise trainers are already on the go in 2013 with workshops booked in Galway, Meath, Cork, Kerry and Dublin. It seems that more and more organisations want to be ready for the increase in Ireland’s older population and are making plans to become more age aware now.

AgeWise, for anyone who hasn’t been to a workshop, raises awareness of attitudes to ageing and older people in organisations. From there, it encourages action on how to counter age discrimination. A half-day workshop, it has already benefited organisations in the health sector, third-level institutions, community development, libraries and private businesses.

While we continue to deliver to organisations, you can now attend AgeWise on a ‘per person’ basis too. This is ideal for small organisations or those who want to get a flavour of how AgeWise would work in their organisation.

Our next ‘per person’ workshops are:

• Wednesday, 23 January, at 10am on our Marino Campus in Dublin 9
• Monday, 18 February, at 2pm in Cork City Council’s offices in City Hall

The cost is €60 per person. We continue to run AgeWise within organisations at a cost of €350 + travel costs where applicable.

To book your place, please go to the online booking page for AgeWise at agewise.eventbrite.ie, contact Fiona Holohan on (01) 805 7709 or e-mail Fiona at fiona.holohan@ageandopportunity.ie.
