Dear Friends,
The Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai is celebrating its Platinum Jubilee this year. As a part of these celebrations the Centre for Lifelong Learning (CLL), TISS is organizing a One‐Day Mega‐Festival for Senior Citizens on the 24th September, 2011
CLL through its Diploma and Short term programs for adult learners has a first hand experience of working with 60 + population. As a part of teaching the Diploma in Gerontology course since the last three years, the Centre has also been working closely with several associations for senior citizens, old age homes and organizations working for senior citizens in advocating for the rights of the seniors, fighting with the stereotypes associated with them and making ageing a positive and fulfilling experience for the seniors.
The One Day Mega Festival for Senior citizens is an effort to demonstrate 'Elder Power' and to enable the senior citizens experience ‘Positive Ageing’. This would mainly be done by involving them in fun activities like dance, recreational activities, movie screening, fashion show etc. Also on display would be products which are elder friendly and which can contribute towards the well‐being of the seniors.
Besides, the event is also an effort to bring together the various stake holders involved in working for the senior citizens, which includes, senior citizens associations, organizations working on elderly issues and old age homes. Organizations which may have an indirect benefit for the elders would also be involved; this would include organizations providing medical services, financial services, legal help, wellness organizations and those manufacturing products especially for the elderly.
Please join the event, participate in the day long activities and help us in our endeavor of making ageing a positive experience in the life of the elderly.
Venue: Main Quadrangle, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Main Campus
Date: 24th September, 2011
Time: 10 am-5.30 pm.

I look forward to introducing the Centre to the work of Fashion Moves. Clothing can be a major problem for People with disabilities and is one that they face every day. Fashion Moves is working to bring professional, well designed, stylish and functional clothing into the market place and to create a bridge between the Fashion/Garment Industry and People with disabilities.
