October 1, every year
One day a year, the world looks at its elders. We use it to ask Jordan to look a little longer.
Around October 1 the home opens its doors: tours, meetings with residents, and our annual conversation about aging in Jordan. Schools and universities are especially welcome.
We advocate for the WHO age-friendly city framework — benches, shade, crossing times, accessible transport. Small civic details decide whether elders leave the house at all.
