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.

Meet the Global Pass It On Network

A grassroots alliance of older people growing the potential for positive ageing

We are living the Longevity Revolution in real time! In 2013, the Pass It On Network founders, Moira Allan and Jan Hively (read their story) created this grassroots network so that older people everywhere could show others how they were finding ways to expand their interests and thrive while coping with the challenges of longer lives.

Since then, our global community has attracted age activists in nearly 70 countries, all of us engaged in discovering solutions to critical issues for older people worldwide.

Join us. Contribute your insights and experience.
Help reshape the future of ageing.

Enjoy expanding your horizons, meeting new people from all over the world, and have fun doing it. We can choose to live our lives with purpose and to the fullest. We’re all in this together!

Digital Equity for Older Persons – Perspectives from 3 Continents

In an increasingly  interconnected world, digital equity has moved beyond a luxury and is now recognized as a fundamental right. However, older persons are at risk of being left behind due to growing digitalization of everyday life. Without digital equity, older persons not only miss out on accessing crucial services, but are also excluded from participating actively within their communities. 
 
In this intriguing 50/50 conversation, we’re excited to bring perspectives from three highly populated and culturally diverse countries across three continents: India, Nigeria, and the USA. We’re eager to explore how these different regions are tackling the issue of digital equity on a global scale.
 
Joining us for this upcoming 50/50 Conversation are: 
Richard Adler (CA, USA), Sonali Sharma (Help Age India), and Oluwagbemiga, Oyinlola (Nigeria)

Pathways

As the Pass It On Network grows, so will the choice of activities. Our goal is to discover innovative, inexpensive programs, 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.
