"The Competitive Advantage of Ageing"

A Master Class related to Age-friendly Cities in two parts

The IFA Zivot 90 are proud to announce a two part Master Class (Part I: Step Change Model and Part II: Delivering the Change) based on 25 years research and practice into economic step change. The Class draws from case studies and the first-hand, front-line experience of practitioners involved in ageing-in-place change and age-friendly like programmes.

The master class will be facilitated by an experienced team from the UK-based research group, BussinesLab1, who will use relevant findings from their 6-years, multipartnercollaborative research programme, ActiveAge: Solutions for an Ageing Society, to provide a context for discussion and debate.

The goal of the master class is help delegates define actions and priorities for themselves as they leave the comnference and return to their own communities.
