Working Group 1

Working Group 1 (WG1) focuses on knowledge co-production in research and in practice about participatory approaches with older adults living in community and other settings, with a particular focus on well-being, well-becoming, and the overall quality of life. The working group aims to promote an inclusive perspective that highlights living expertise and strength of people involved in participatory approaches rather than their possible health conditions and limitations as our primary focus. We seek to understand how barriers in implementing participatory approaches can be challenged and successfully overcome and how the facilitators and the opportunities for involvement can be maximised.
