Global families, glocal problems 1600-SZD-ID-GFGP

Kurs wprowadza w interdysplinarnie prozentowaną problematykę starzejących się społeczeństw. W trakcie zajęć poruszane są następujące zagadnienia: przekraczanie współczesnych barier długowieczności, społeczne i indywidualne czynniki sprzyjające długowieczności w sprawności i niezależności, nieoczywiste sposoby na podtrzymanie i inicjowanie aktywności dla starszych osób dorosłych, pogłębiona analiza współczesnych przejawów agaizmu, zamieszkiwanie jako ważny element jakości życia w starzeniu się, budowanie inkluzyjnych wiekowo społeczności oraz angażowanie szerszych grup społecznych (niż jedynie rodzina) dla wsparcia społecznego niesamodzielnej starości.
