Els passats 25 i 26 de novembre, l’obra de teatre “Prime Time”, escrita i interpretada per Núria Casado Gual, membre de SIforAGE, va tornar a pujar a l’escenari gràcies al Teatre Municipal de l’Escorxador de Lleida, on s’hi van presentar tres funcions amb les entrades exhaurides.

“Prime Time”, protagonitzada per la co-fundadora del Teatre Lliure, Imma Colomer, és una comèdia àcida sobre l’envelliment en el món de l’espectacle i sobre què significa fer-se gran en la societat actual.

Estrenada el passat 21 d’octubre al centre cultural CaixaForum, durant el Simposi de Finalització de Projecte de la Conferència Internacional SIforAGE 2016,  l’obra de Nurosfera té un llarg i prosper camí per endavant, sempre amb l’objectiu d’obrir els ulls al públic i promocionar un envelliment actiu i saludable.

Lisbon University Institute publishes a co-authored research paper

28 September / 2016
  science  |  .

In a joint publication called "Social Psychology & Gerontology: integrating theory to explain and intervene in age discrimination towards older people in Europe", Sibila Marques, SIforAGE partner from Lisbon Univeristy Institute, Christin-MelanieVauclair, Hannah J Swift, Christopher Bratt, Maria Luísa Lima, & Dominic Abrams, discuss how integrating Social Psychology with Gerontology theorizing may contribute to the design of proper research and interventions dealing with this pressing social issue. 

As the abstract explains: "we present two case studies based on our findings from the “Experiences and expressions of ageism” module of the European Social Survey. Case 1 shows how the perception of age discrimination by older people mediates and helps to explain the effects of wealth inequality on older people’s subjective health. Case 2 presents compelling evidence showing that, among older people, identifying with being an older person is associated with poor health outcomes, especially in countries where older people’s status is lower. These findings are discussed in light of their implications for theory and practical intervention in this domain."

SIforAGE partner Lisbon University Institute has published a new study

26 September / 2016
  science  |  .

SIforAGE partner Lisbon University Institute has published a new article on the Journal of Intergenerational Relations las august. The authors, Joana Mendonça, João Mariano, and Sibila Marques explain the study developed: a Lisbon street campaign against ageism. 

Briefly, the main aim of this new brand campaign called "increasing the positive image of older people" was to deconstructing negative steriotypes of ageing. Ageism is the terms used to describe discrimination based on age, this is, discrimination towards older people based merely on their age. Another partner of SIforAGE, Santa Casa da Misericordia, took part in the campaign. 

With the aim to create a society for all ages, this public campaign took place in Lisbon. Its message was to raise awareness on that reality and change people's attitudes and image towards older persons.  The campaign echoed similar activities held in UK and Ireland.   

The posters were design by the Higher School of Communication and Media Studies. The main messages were: "Age changes. Not the fun." "Age changes. Not the talent." "Age changes. Not the affection."

The campaign received generally positive comments through the social networks, from individuals of different ages and occupations, from researchers to professional care givers.
