The project, created by the Merri-bek Council in naarm/Melbourne, aims to challenge stereotypes of age and ageing and highlight the value, wisdom and contribution older people make to our community.
Ageism, age-based discrimination, and negative attitudes around age can lead to elder abuse. We want to ensure that older people in our community are respected, valued, seen, heard and included.
You can view the portrait photographs and read their stories below.
Merri-bek says no to ageism, and yes to celebrating age!
