Brief description (including themes or event programme if applicable) In Germany, too, older people are affected by age discrimination and ageism. In which areas do they occur and what are their consequences? In what ways do they restrict their right to participate? The online dialog with experts will answer these and other questions. It will show ways in which the right to participation of older people can be more strongly respected, protected and guaranteed in Germany and worldwide.
