Ageism Awareness and Education module and Ageism toolkit

Posted Le 11 novembre 2025

Hi Loop members,

The Canadian Coalition Against Ageism (CCAA) just launched two new educational resources on ageism: The Ageism Awareness & Education module and the Ageism toolkit. These resources were developed by the CCAA’s Ageism Awareness Working Group, with funding support from the CIHR Institute of Aging.

The Ageism Awareness & Education module offers people across Canada and beyond a foundational introduction to what ageism is, why it matters, how it affects us all, and how to address it. The module is available for free online on the Thinkific platform and it takes about 15 minutes to complete. The module is available in English, and will soon be available in French and Spanish as well: https://ccaageism.ca/ageism-module/

The Ageism Toolkit is a complementary resource that brings together a diverse set of tools and activities to deepen understanding of ageism, explore its impacts, and promote concrete actions to challenge it across multiple sectors of society. The toolkit is currently available in English: https://ccaageism.ca/ageism-toolkit/

Ageism remains one of the most pervasive yet least recognized forms of discrimination—woven into our language, policies, institutions, and even our own assumptions. The World Health Organization has recognized education as one of the effective strategies for eliminating ageism. The Ageism Awareness Module and Toolkit are intended for use by all ages and sectors. Please feel free to share these resources with your networks.

Thanks,

Claire
