[Workshop] From policies to local territories, giving seniors their full place

About this workshop :

Ageing is not only an individual matter—it is a collective challenge that questions our social models, our territories, and our ability to build a truly inclusive society. While national policies set the direction, it is at the local level—departments, cities, associations, and grassroots actors—that the reality of ageing well is embodied on a daily basis.

This round table offers a concrete and committed discussion on the link between national strategies and local initiatives, while fully integrating the voices of older people themselves. How can we ensure that public policies are effectively anchored in departments and municipalities? How can we give seniors their rightful place in the design and governance of these measures? What new forms of cooperation can connect institutions, local stakeholders, and citizen initiatives more effectively?

With the participation of Olivier Richefou, President of the Mayenne Departmental Council, CORERPA, which represents and voices the concerns of older people, RFVAA, which coordinates the Age-Friendly Cities and Communities network, and Filien ADMR, a leading provider of home support, this session will highlight key levers, best practices, and future perspectives to build a society that sees ageing as a resource rather than a constraint.

An essential meeting to understand how, from the national level to the home, every layer can contribute to giving seniors their full place in our collective future.
