071 Chapter 5 Impact of the age awareness workshop I’d like to see [the workshop] in high schools. I think they would really benefit from it and maybe a lot of them might actually volunteer to go in and spend a bit of time with older people. —Participant, age 52–60 There is a real need for that workshop, particularly in workplaces where the customers are older people [for example] the government. In my organisation, we had a look for training and there really isn’t anything out there that is suitable for everyone. This fills that need, for anyone across Australia. —Participant, age 61+ Anyone who works with older people should do [the workshop]. —Participant, mixed age group There is no set group [who should do this workshop]. People from all age groups and all professions need to learn [about ageism]. You can’t just pick one particular group and teach [only those people] to be age-sensitive. —Participant, age <40
