A Global Peer-Learning Network for Positive Ageing Advocates

We are older adults who believe that our work is to “pass it on” – sharing our know-how with others, capitalizing on what works, forging a place for our new generation, shaping positive expectations for meaningful work and learning lifelong.

We Are the Pass It On Network

And right now, we are living the Longevity Revolution in real time! In 2013, Pass It On Network founders Moira Allan and Jan Hively created this grassroots forum to promote active ageing, reshape societal views on ageing, and prosper in the face of longer life challenges.

Our PIONeers are active ageing advocates from nearly 60 countries engaging in intergenerational dialogue and knowledge-sharing, and celebrating the vital role of older adults in building an inclusive, sustainable world.

At the Pass It On Network, we embrace economic, social, and cultural dimensions, fostering collaboration to build a world that values contributions from all ages.  

Join us. Contribute your insights and experience.
Play an active role in reshaping the future of ageing.

Connect and engage with like-minded individuals from all over the world and and enjoy the adventure our longer lives afford us. We can choose to live our lives with purpose and to the fullest. We’re all in this together!

Monthly PIONeer Events

Join us for monthly online events. 

Meet Pass It On members from around the globe during our 50/50 Interactive Online Conversations held the 2nd Monday of every month at 1 pm ET. Each month we have a new presenter with an interesting topic to share. More details will be sent to you if you are a subscriber of our monthly newsletter.

Join our next 50/50 Conversation…

where we’ll refer to our recent non-scholarly and informal survey on intergenerational dynamics within the 60 – 90+ age groups.

One thing that stood out very clearly was that many in this age range prefer not to define themselves by chronological age. Thanks to your participation, we harvested a very rich set of responses. We’ll include our report in the invitation to the October session of 50/50 conversation.

We are looking forward to discussing this and other points of interest that emerged from your voice.

Pathways

As the Pass It On Network grows, so will the choice of activities. Our goal is to discover innovative projects and ideas that generate and support active, productive, positive aging wherever they have been developed around the world, and to “pass them on” through our network for sharing and adapting. We scout the world to find out how our peers are contributing and what we can learn from each other and adapt to our circumstances.

Ageing

Our perceptions about ageing affect quality of life as we grow old. Here, we provide infor­mation about trends and resources relevant to positive ageing building on our strengths and maintaining health and wellness.

Lifelong Learning

We are both teachers and learners all of our life. Here, we bring you pro­grams and information on teaching and learning that expand access and respond to the needs and interests of older adults.

Community Support

There’s no better way to gain personal support for positive aging than with our peers who are sharing their experience. Here, you will find innovative guides to form mutual support groups and build on community assets.

Work & Economic Sustainability

Work is more than employment, it is honing our skills and interests through a lifelong pat­tern of meaning­ful work. Find resources here that expand engagement and work opportunities.
