Voices of Active Aging Week 2012

Active Aging Week®, the annual health promotion event promoted by the International Council on Active Aging®, is held every year during the last full week of September. This year’s theme, “Many journeys, many destinations,” recognized that older adults travel individual paths toward their personal destinations of well-being, health and ongoing engagement in life. According to many of the hosts who conducted Active Aging Week® events, their success began with the theme, and they stirred in the activities, locations and people best suited to their local area. That recipe resulted in a week of health-promotion-plus-fun events.
