Reminder that BSG's event 'Learning for life! How to transform higher education for all generations' is happening tomorrow 9am-2pm at East Oxford Community Centre.

-----------------------------------------------------
What would it be like if universities were truly places for people of all ages?

How could partnerships between universities and local communities provide both valuable education and positive changes in everyday life?

In celebration of the UN International Day of Older People, we invited you to join us for lively discussions and activities that will change the way you think about higher education!

People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to attend, whether you are a student, educator, community organiser, or just interested in supporting age-inclusive multigenerational learning!

Your ideas will become the foundation of a new program of multigenerational community-engaged learning at Oxford Brookes University that will be developed over the coming years in conjunction with our plans to make Oxford and Age-Friendly City.

Refreshments and a light lunch will be served free of charge.
