Exclusion from civic engagement of a diverse older population: Features, experiences and policy implications
On this #InternationalDayforOlderPersons, with the theme of #AgeingWithDignity, it is vital to recognize the diverse and meaningful contributions that older people make to their societies, neighborhoods, but also their friends and close contacts. From fostering connections to driving positive change, they continue to shape their surroundings in powerful ways. Today also marks a special day as we conclude the CIVEX Project after 3 years of hard work, dedication, and collaboration. A huge shout out to the participants and all those older persons who actively engage in their communities, proving that age is no barrier to making a difference! With that, we officially close the project, celebrating its achievements and the important lessons learned about civic engagement in later life.

Learning about the future ready society programme: - How to bring everyone along, even those who don’t get along? - How can we have meaningful, constructive dialogues on complex, and sometimes divisive, sensitive issues? - Process is important. - Closing the loop after engagement is important. - Acknowledging the differences in competency to participate is also important. #FRSConf2024

Thank you David T. Hsu for sharing this opportunity to hear and learn from Michèle Lamont, Judy Morse, and others this morning. Belonging is a fundamental human need, and one that is linked to many complex challenges of our time, such as health, social cohesion, and democracy (see Over Zero's #BelongingBarometer). Yet, a majority of Americans report non-belonging. On a positive note, belonging is attainable. Ordinary universalism refers not only to what we all have in common, but also to embracing ethnic, religious, national, and other differences. Respecting people's dignity is crucial to advance this work forward and can help promote a pluralistic criteria of worth. If you're curious to learn more, consider Lamont's book "Seeing Others": https://lnkd.in/g33t3ZRG
Excited to join this conversation at The Brookings Institution with Michèle Lamont, Judy Morse, and our intrepid convener/moderator Xavier de Souza Briggs. As the #BelongingBarometer (s/o Over Zero) shows, we live at a time in the United States when large swathes of people in demographic minorities *and* majorities struggle to feel seen. What will it take to build a society with room for all of us to belong -- to be safe, seen, and have every voice matter? There are so many bright spots to learn from. At Omidyar Network, we learn alongside artists who stretch our moral imagination. Innovators who rewrite old playbooks. Builders of social infrastructure to strengthen our changing communities together. Register here for the March 4th IRL or webcast: https://lnkd.in/gp57mc4Y

**An academic, a government official, and a consultant walk into a bar…** I'm thrilled to share that I’ve been appointed as an Action Fellow for Future Society by Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and Institute of Policy Studies, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. (Well, almost—just waiting for the paperwork to finalize, haha.) The goal of this fellowship is to rethink the role of citizens in shaping policy and explore how we can engage more deeply in the policymaking process. But before we get there, it’s crucial for citizens to be educated and informed about how the government operates, including the complexities and nuances of policy decisions. For this initiative to be truly effective, we need government agencies to work closely with us. It won’t be an easy task, as genuine co-creation and co-delivery require the government to share some control and power with citizens—something that demands mutual trust and openness. I’ll be speaking (only 10 mins or less!) at the upcoming conference to pitch this project. If you’re curious and want to learn more, I’d love to see you there!
