SUMMARY:Regional Conference 2014 “Older People in Ageing Societies: Burden or Resource?”
DESCRIPTION:Date: 1-4 September 2014\nVenue: Convention Center\, the Empress Hotel\, Chiang Mai\, Thailand \nEvery two years\, the HelpAge Network of organisations working on ageing in the Asia/Pacific region and its key allies gather for a Regional Conference. The 2014 Regional Conference will be a multi-stakeholder learning event to share experience and develop common perspectives on the theme Older People in Ageing Societies: Burden or Resource? \nOlder people are often seen in terms of their needs and frailties\, or even as a problem or burden for societies. This conference aims to stimulate discussion from the opposite perspective in order to bring greater balance in perceptions. The theme is important for the Network in reframing its arguments about ageing in a more positive light and is consistent with HelpAge’s approach (“age helps”). This theme is also important for China and other countries in Asia/Pacific as they consider how the increasing number of older people can contribute to national development. Finally\, the conference comes at a time of changing directions in global development as the Millennium Development Goals come to an end and a new framework will take their place post-2015. \nFor registration and additional information\, please contact jib@helpageasia.org.

SUMMARY:COSE Communication Planning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Date: 10-12 September 2014\nVenue: Robbinsdale Hotel\, Sta. Mesa\, Manila\,  Philippines \nPhilippine policy-makers have long recognized the predicament of the elderly as presented in the 1986 Constitution. Older people have been included in many laws and policies regarding health and social services\, pensions and retirees benefits. \nHowever\, the growing numbers of older people in the country have created a need to develop a deeper understanding of the wider\, societal implications of ageing. Livelihood\, healthcare\, human rights\, are merely some of the challenges related to old age\, which require careful consideration and evaluation. \nThe greater demand to implement policies and create new ones to promote the welfare of the elderly prompted the Coalition of Services of the Elderly (COSE)\, in cooperation with the Philippine Information Agency\, to organize a communication planning workshop. \nThe communication plan will support all advocacy efforts on elderly issues\, educate the public on the rights of the older people\, and strengthen linkages and partnership among the various stakeholders. \nAs a result of the workshop\, the participants will be able to come up with a strategic communication plan and subsequently develop appropriate messages in support of the various concerns and programs for older persons.

SUMMARY:Radio interview with key OPA spokepersons in Cambodia
DESCRIPTION:Date: 29 September 2014\nTime: 01:00 – 02:00 pm \n \nAs part of Age Demands Action (ADA)\, older people in Cambodia will use the United Nation’s International Day of Older Persons on 1 October 2014 to call for action from the government to ensure their rights and protection\, including a social pension scheme for all older people aged 65 and above. \nKey events that will be led by ADA campaigners in Cambodia include a meeting between a delegation of older people from Older People’s Associations (OPAs) and OPA Federations\, and the Provincial Governor of Battambang\, on 29 September. Another delegation from OPAs and Federations will meet with the Provincial Governor of Banteay Meanchey on 30 September and with the Ministry of Social Affairs\, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation on 7 October in Phnom Penh. \nKey OPA spokespersons\, including Mr Ton Sovan\, the OPA Leader from Prey Toch\, and Mrs Pech Chhoeub\, the OPA Leader from Korohal\, along with HelpAge Cambodia staff will participate in a talk-show on the Chamka Chek state run radio station (FM: 92.70Mz)\, on 29 September from 1:00pm to 2:00pm. \nMr Ton Sovan believes that the radio talk-show is an important opportunity to discuss the challenges faced by older people in Cambodia and what can be done to improve their lives\, including expanding the social pension. “Older people in Cambodia are less able to generate income for themselves and their families and a social pension for all older people aged 65 and above will help support their welfare and wellbeing”\, said Mr Ton Sovan.
