Goals
The rise of longevity and the low birth & death rates in Europe contribute to a greater population of older people: a vulnerable group to age-based discrimination at work. The now greater socio-economic participation of older adults must contribute to their empowerment rather than bringing the negative effects of ageism on their health, rights and productivity. In this context, SNAW will design an online course to promote awareness of ageism in the workplace, effectively addressing this issue.
Activities
The SNAW Online Course will target 150+ employers and employees of all ages across various organisational sectors, such as enterprise, NGO, educational, civil and/or public at European level. The course curriculum will be informed by a systematic literature review and empirical research.
Results
The SNAW online course will include definitions of ageism, how it manifests, its effects, and how to tackle it. It is envisaged that the online course will reach a wide range of organisations in Europe, promoting awareness of ageism at work and empowering older adults.
