ENABLE FOUNDATION designs “drills of ageing” for all generations to learn about ageing.

An age-friendly society is one where everyone can participate in community activities regardless of how old they are.

ENABLE FOUNDATION created a unique platform for intergenerational exchange encouraging younger people to prepare for better ageing and older citizens to become creative trainers. Our creative response to ageless innovation for our future, encourages the public to be better prepared for getting older which we provoke as #Age-Ready.

Our OLD School is a new, organic educational methodology focused on ageing as the inspirational subject for teaching and learning.

We launched our first OLD SCHOOL design experiment in 2018 with London designer Pascal Anson (COO). We made four immersive #Age-Ready learning installations with “drills of ageing” to enable participants to experience, exchange, ideate and communicate meaningfully on key ageing attributes. This new intergenerational co-creation design experiment is for citizens to be better prepared for our future super-ageing society.
