Asia Impact Dialogue Symposium "Alternative Solution for Ageing Asia -Buildling a Path for the Elderly to Be Social Asset-"
（Thursday, August 30, 2018）
As experiencing rapid population ageing, there has been a growing interest among Asian countries towards Japan as the front runner of population ageing. The Sasakawa Peace Foundation and Asian Aging Business Center will host a symposium in Fukuoka city, where the city government promotes a social model of the elderly's healthy lives in the age of extreme longevity. How can we make communities and society for the elderly to be active throughout their lives? The symposium will present case examples of seniors who actively participate in society in Fukuoka and other Asian countries, and will discuss future visions of “active ageing”. We look forward to welcoming you all.

◆What Is “Asia Impact Dialogue (AID)” Initiative?◆
The Sasakawa Peace Foundation launched the AID initiative in 2018 aiming to share Japan’s experience with Asian countries as a partner, and to build new co-existing relationship. The initiative also aims to suggest alternative solutions for common social problems in Asia through discussion and dialogue with experts and practitioners in Asia.
The 1st AID workshop was co-hosted by SPF and ISEAS Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore, where both public and private sectors are active on ageing issues. Participants including the Singapore Minister for Health and experts from five countries discussed community-based care, and emphasized that the elderly are social asset, which brings us to the theme of the 2nd AID symposium.
