The full post-event evaluation for LDF x UAL Ageing Societies: A Global Response is now available online. This includes a summative report, illustrations, graphic recordings and links to session video recordings.
Ageing Societies: A Global Response explored how societies around the globe are responding and adapting to population ageing - a global phenomenon that has emerged as a result of social and economic development.
The 3-day symposium focused on three key themes: Silver Economy, Urban Regeneration and Spaces for Wellbeing and Ageing Futures. Discussion ranged from the significance of accessible design in multi-generational communities to the arguably positive correlation between ageing, depopulation and sustainable living. The post-event evaluation highlights the key insights and provocations that emerged from each panel session in both written and visual formats. Recordings to each panel session are available here.
The event was a real celebration of UAL’s International partners and global reach, as reflected by a diverse range of panelists and attendees joining from the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan, Nigeria, Spain, Greece and the USA.
Closer to home, the talents of UAL staff, students and alumni all played a significant part in shaping the symposium - from Alumni speakers to the engagement of current staff and students to contribute report writing, illustration and brand identity.
