The 2nd edition of the "Longevidade na 1.ª Pessoa" event addressed health, innovation, and technology for longevity. Discussions also covered the importance of prevention and health promotion, combating ageism, and the role of intergenerationality, with a special focus on grandparents as reference figures.
During the closing session, held throughout the day, the councilor for Social Affairs and Sports, Helena Leal, emphasized the importance of promoting longevity with health, dignity, autonomy, and active participation in society. She highlighted the need to combat ageism and value the experience and wisdom of older people.
“"Aging should not mean losing space in society. On the contrary, it should mean continuing to learn, interact, share knowledge, and contribute to the community."
