DADIMA walks: an amazing example of the Five Pillars for Ageing Well in action- Ageing Well Public Series 2025/26

Join us for Talk 5 about the five pillars of ageing 

In this talk, Geeta shares personal reflections of ageing and what she wishes her younger self knew, and paid attention to. Geeta wants to live a long life, and a healthy one where she remains independent. Geeta will go through the Five Pillars and share simple ways in which she has made changes and new choices over recent years, recognising that she is at a particular stage in her life, carrying a set of privileges that her younger self did not have, particularly knowledge in relation to 'wellbeing'. As a grandmother today, Geeta ends by sharing thoughts on how she might pass on her 'ageing well' tips to the next generation. DADIMA walks celebrate culture and knowledge which we know boost learning and wellbeing in later life.
