Forums

At Home With Growing Older believes in peer learning and creating discussions which bring the lens of aging to a variety of topics, from transportation to healthcare to garden design.

In our interdisciplinary Learning Forums, we facilitate active inquiries and a deeper understanding of the complex needs of later life, thereby inspiring inclusive and human-centered solutions across all industries and institutions. Our learning forums pivoted in April of 2020 from in-person events to online programs. Now, we continue to host these online forums and publish the recordings on our podcast: At Home, On Air.

At Home With Growing Older celebrated the 10th year anniversary of its grassroots movement with an agein. Our first annual agein was a daylong learning forum modeled on the teach-ins of the 60s, with participants and speakers switching places throughout the day.
