This package of tools for use globally addresses health promotion through topics such as noncommunicable disease (NCD) risk and prevention, social inclusion and mental health with an ageing focus. These materials embrace a life course approach to bridge the generational gap by teaching both younger populations about healthy choices affecting their quality of life and older populations about managing to live healthier and happier lives. The toolkit is intended to be used with the healthy ageing guides. The toolkit features full-colour imagery, interactive formats and games material to teach all audiences according to the methodology suggested in the guides. All materials can be printed in colour or black/white and are of high resolution for those National Societies wishing to enlarge and print posters and banners for other uses in their healthy ageing activities.
While the materials in the toolkit are specifically tailored to an ageing audience, all materials can be adapted or taught as they are to any adult audience. The activities included allow volunteers and their community members to learn about what healthy ageing is and how to pursue a healthy life course. Community members can also explore the critical components for healthy ageing and assess their personal development along the various com-ponents on a regular basis. They can become familiar with, and comfortable in, identifying areas where they may need extra attention and support, as well as empowering themselves to eat more healthily and move more freely, helping to prevent NCDs, falls and social isolation and, in the process, becoming life-long learners. These outcomes can be achieved with the highly interactive and learner-friendly tools included in this toolkit.
