Webinar 202: Walking the Age-friendly Talk - Case Studies
Are you involved in an Age-friendly City and Community (AFCC) initiative and are actively seeking to learn from others to enable project success, minimize risks and maximize opportunities through collaboration?

The International Federation on Ageing (IFA) in collaboration with Grantmakers in Aging (GIA) is pleased to announce a webinar series of case study presentations from 4 individual age-friendly programs, highlighting successes, tools developed and barriers that have been overcome. 

Become involved in knowledge mobilization and sharing, an essential component in ensuring positive project outcomes, as well as developing a world-wide community of age-friendly programs and practice.  With support and unity across the AFCC network, one community's success can be translated to and adopted as global success for others.
