This guide is designed to help you begin your own journey towards making your community more age friendly. It showcases exciting, innovative, small scale and low or no-cost projects that are having a big impact on the lives of older people in communities across the Americas region. We hope you feel inspired to replicate these or develop other projects in your own communities. This guide also provides some simple tools to help make your projects successful, including advice on how to build coalitions, develop clear and shared objectives, campaign to raise awareness of the needs and rights of older people in your community and think about the next steps you can take.
Whether you’re a local authority that’s not sure where to start, a community organization wanting to bring about change, or an older activist who can see the potential in your community – every step you take, however small, however simple, can build momentum toward creating truly inclusive communities. So let’s go!
