"Disrupting Ageism through Lifelong Learning: An innovative Approach to Promoting Purpose, Belonging, and Mental Stimulation" December 2025 This webinar presents a glimpse into elder roles and the importance of exploring a "Big Why." Participants hear about age oppression and how internalized ageism can interfere with the anticipation of elderhood and fulfillment of elder roles. The whole-person lifespan approach to aging and longevity will be introduced, and the tasks of elderhood will be explored. Guided by evidence-based gerontological practice, consideration will be given to the importance of co-creating an elderhood worth anticipating through lifelong learning. Speakers: E.
