Let’s Talk About Ageism – Toolkit
Interested in hosting a conversation café’ on ageism? We have developed a User-Friendly Toolkit that covers everything you need to know on how, where, who, and what to do to get the conversation going.
What is a Conversation Café?
A Conversation Café is a relaxed gathering where people come together to engage and talk about specific topics in a casual and open manner. The idea is to create a welcoming space where everyone's voice is valued and there's no pressure to be an expert or reach a specific conclusion. A Conversation Café is about fostering meaningful dialogue, building community, and exploring ideas together to promote change.
Who is this toolkit for?
Any organizations, community groups, or individuals interested in starting a conversation about ageism in their organizations, communities, or homes.
If you hosted a Conversation Café, we invite you to complete the facilitators feedback form and email agefriendly@seniorscouncil.net with the subject line "Ageism Toolkit - Feedback Form"
The participant feedback form can be used to receive feedback from participants who attend your Conversation Café.
Below you will find an editable poster to promote your Conversation Café. Once downloaded, you can upload your logo, fill in your content, save, and print.
Below is a list of resources about ageism that can be used to further support your Conversation Café and to share with your participants after the event. Resources are categorized by the ageism topics provided in the toolkit.
