  • Book: Lively Aging (Paperback): An anthology of poems, thoughts and personal stories written entirely by our elderly friends We talk a lot about the aged these days. We talk and discuss them but do we really listen to them? Through respect and affection for our elderly friends, the International Federation of Little Brothers invited hundreds of elderly people to share with us their reflections on life as they grow older. Lively Aging is the title of this book whose authors from the United States, Quebec, Germany, France, Spain, Ireland and Mexico share with us their happy and sad moments, their projects, their passions, and all that they feel but haven't had the opportunity to express.

  • Say No To Ageism Week: "Say No To Ageism Week" is an initiative of the Equality Authority, the Health Service Executive and the National Council on Ageing and Older People. The aim of the week is to promote new awareness and understanding of ageism and of how ageism excludes older people from participating in and contributing to society.
