The 3rd and 4th of March 2016 took place the VIII meeting of the WHO Healthy Cities European Network Task Force on healthy aging (HAFT). Among the experts on ageing who participated on the meeting was Maurizio Lorenzatto, sociologist working at the Comune de Torino and SIforAGE member.

During the first day of the meeting the content of the document “Background Paper Innovation for age friendly environments in Europe: joint AFE-INNOVNET and AFEE workshops for policymakers” was discussed. The second day, the experiences from three European Project on ageing -Innovage, Futurage and SIforAGE- were presented. The discussion led to the conclusion that the results of these projects are complementary. In particular it was evidenced the harmony of results regarding the areas of greatest attention.

In addition to the discussion about the results and the methodologies, the meeting was also an important event for dissemination and discussion both within the national and European levels. All participants were given access to the SIforAGE Mutual Learning Platform.
