SUMMARY:EU Contribution to WHO Global campaign against ageism. Brussels\, Belgium
DESCRIPTION:The existence of stereotyping\, prejudice\, and discrimination towards older adults – commonly referred to as ageism – imposes barriers to developing good policy on ageing. Ageism also hinders older people’s ability to do the things that they value and aspire to. Stereotyping affects how people think about older people; prejudice affects how people feel about older people; and discrimination affects how people and institutions act towards older people. \nAccording to the World Health Organisation\, ageism is highly prevalent worldwide and remains unchallenged in society largely because it is socially accepted and entrenched in institutions. \nThis event\, co-organized by AGE Platform Europe with the support of the delegation of the Basque Country\, the European Commission and the World Health Organization\, will be an opportunity to raise the visibility of the issue and to examine what more can be done at EU level to combat ageism and to contribute to the WHO global campaign to combat ageism.  \nTarget audience:  Policy makers at EU level\, national\, regional and local authorities\, civil society organisations\, service providers\, public health organisations

SUMMARY:Autism and sensory issues conference- Leicester\, UK
DESCRIPTION:This one-day offers the latest insight and best practice for supporting autistic individuals with sensory processing issues\, as well as useful coping strategies to help overcome challenges. \nMany people on the autism spectrum have difficulty processing everyday sensory information such as sounds\, sights and smells. This is usually called having sensory integration difficulties or sensory sensitivity. It can have a profound effect on an individua life and autistic people are expected to cope with the sensory challenges at home\, school and work every day \nDealing with these challenges can cause high levels of anxiety and stress\, resulting in behaviours that can be difficult for other people to deal with and offer significant challenges to professionals involved in the provision of educational\, health and welfare services. Understanding the causes of sensory issues can be key in helping to support autistic people at home\, school or residential provision. \nAt this conference\, expert speakers from the National Autistic Society will give you the tools and knowledge to support and help autistic people affected by sensory issues. It will look at how you can help overcome challenges caused by sensory issues and help you to understand the huge impact they can have on the life of an autistic person.
