The project's objectives are to transform public discourses and understandings of age and ageing; include older adults as active agents and collaborators in our research agenda to develop appropriate languages, methods and ways to communicate intergenerationally and intra-generationally; develop curricula and teaching methods; provide a lasting collaborative platform for the theorization and critical analysis of the relationship between ageing and digital worlds; draw on the interdisciplinary expertise of our researchers who are working in a wide range of national and transnational settings; foster an inter-institutional sharing of resources and expertise on ageing and media for students, faculty, community workers and selected industry partners; and finally to create strong institutional partnerships and connections across academic institutions and non-academic organizations likewise concerned.
