[In-Person] India, October 01, Celebrate International Day of Older Persons with Me - Age Friendly Meetup ✨

Hy Local Guides, :sparkles:

We celebrated 100th celebrative post of Celebrate with Me and this meetup will mark another “celebrate with me” post - International Day of Older Persons :old_man::old_woman: (October 1st). It’s an incredible milestone for “Celebrate with Me” to have a meet-up which celebrates & promotes awareness among the community.

This Meetup is part of Age Friendly, an Initiative & passionate project by @TravellerG


What is Age Friendly :exclamation_question_mark:

Age Friendly is a mission to create & promote an accessible environment for older persons to live with dignity, to travel and to contribute towards the community. It’s all about creating an environment and surrounding to be more accessible & inclusive for all people of ages and gender.

Like the Wellderly Day, we as a local guide can also contribute towards International Day of Older Persons with Age Friendliness on Google Maps:

  • Highlighting Accessibility :selfie: - Not just wheelchair accessibility :wheelchair_symbol:, age friendly also points to visual :eye:, auditory :ear_with_hearing_aid: and cognitive accessibility :gear:. Adding photos of accessibility signs or features or editing accessibility attributes on Google Maps can help in aid for age friendliness.
  • Reviewing for Inclusivity :writing_hand: - We can review local businesses or public spaces, telling how welcoming and comfortable they are for older persons & persons with any age. If a place or business is easy to access for everyone of any age/gender and Kid Friendly :baby_symbol:, you can mention about that place/business being Age-Friendly!
  • Raising Awareness :bell: - You can promote and bring awareness to our fellow local guides about the importance of age friendly design & its contribution to Google Maps.

Meet-up Details :busts_in_silhouette: :


As part of 100th Celebrative Post, we will be focusing on promoting Age Friendliness on Google Maps:

  • Accessibility :wheelchair_symbol::ear_with_hearing_aid::gear: - We will explore locations around the State Central Library and add Accessibility Information.
  • Highlighting Age Friendly designs :men_s_room::women_s_room::baby_symbol::old_man: - We will also take age friendly design photos at Local businesses and places which offers a comfortable & safer environment for older persons and persons with any age and contribute towards Google Maps.
  • Meetup’s Mission :star: - Our mission is to make places showcase Accessibility, Inclusivity and Kid Friendliness on Google Maps. To do that, we are making the three terms into a more attractive & understandable term - “Age Friendly”!

If you are interested to attend, please comment down below or private message me.

Let’s meet you all there & contribute towards Age-Friendliness!
