Thank you to Oliver Lohaj for his insightful intervention on Explainable AI and Digital Trust.✨

“Digital participation today depends on trust.”

“A key challenge is the perception of fake news, especially among older adults. While many tools can detect misinformation, detection alone is not enough.”

We need to make reasoning visible, keep language simple, and support next steps - explaining why content is flagged, not just that it is.

“Trust is calibrated when users understand both the warning and its limits.”

The goal is to empower older adults through understandable and reliable digital systems.

Thank you to Cecilia S*k Lányi for her insightful intervention on Leveraging Life Experience to Navigate the Generative AI Frontier.

During the panel, the speaker also engaged the audience with a short questionnaire, inviting reflection on the topic. ✨

Technology and innovation can help address social exclusion, but digital divides remain - especially in access and use among older adults.

A key concern raised was the impact of AI on human learning: cognitive offloading, reduced critical thinking, and weakened problem-solving if tools are used without reflection.

The takeaway is not to resist AI, but to use it in ways that preserve and strengthen human judgement.

Thank you to Lucie Vidovićová for her insightful intervention on Artificial Intimacy. ✨

“Care is the definition of intimacy.”

The discussion explored how robots and digital systems are entering spaces traditionally reserved for human relationships, raising questions about whether machines can replace care.

A clear generational divide emerges, with younger people more open to robotic support, while emotional and intimate care remains largely resisted.

The debate goes beyond technology - it reflects how intimacy, trust, and care are being redefined.

Thank you to all the participants.

Thank you to Merita Xhumari for her intervention during the panel: The impact of digitalization in building age-friendly environments. ✨

“Digitalisation is creating opportunities, but also deepening gaps across generations.”

Older workers often face barriers, stereotypes, and a lack of structured lifelong learning opportunities in adapting to new technologies.

A clear reminder: “there is the need for inclusive digital skills and lifelong learning.”

Thank you to Davide Lucantoni for his contribution during the panel “Policies to Promote Active Ageing: A National Multi-Level Co-Designed Programme in Italy”.

“Health is an outcome”

The panel highlighted the importance of coordinated policies at national and regional level, stakeholder participation, and the exchange of good practices to promote active ageing in a more inclusive and effective way across Italy.

Panel discussion: Social Isolation and Loneliness: Connecting Generations for Emotional Well-being

Today’s younger generations face uncertainty, instability, and constant change. The future requires openness, flexibility, cooperation, and dialogue between people - discussing, not arguing.

Creating a better world for future generations starts with connection, understanding, and community. “We can start from leaving researches.”

Thank you to the speakers for the inspiring reflections. ✨

Thank you to everyone taking part in the discussion Social Isolation and Loneliness: Connecting Generations for Emotional Well-being.

Thank you to all the speakers for the insightful reflections and to the participants for their questions ✨

One message stood out clearly: relationships matter.

Family, friendships, and social connections are essential for emotional wellbeing, yet maintaining them is becoming increasingly difficult in today’s society - and too many people end up lonely.

“A message that we must embrace before it is too late.”

Thank you to Kateřina Macháčová for the insightful intervention during the panel Wellbeing and Mental Health in Ageing Societies. ✨

“We live longer, but not necessarily better.”

A powerful reminder that ageing does not begin at retirement. We are living in a very different era compared to previous generations, and our lifestyles, stress levels, and daily habits shape wellbeing across the entire life course.

The concept of “Permanento” highlighted the importance of continuous movement, learning, and self-care — because healthy ageing is a shared responsibility.

“We need to do it for ourself.”

Thank you to Anette Scoppetta, for the insightful intervention ✨

“The world of work is unfair”

We are facing multiple transitions at once — digital, social, and economic — which are increasing inequalities and exclusion.

But “we can do a lot”: starting from below: integrated policies, local action, and cooperation between individuals, companies, and institutions.

The goal remains clear: “leave no one behind”.
