The Eastern Elder Abuse Network (EEAN) is working with Swinburne University to create a media database of images, video and stories of diverse, active and positive older people.
The database will be used to combat the negative representations of older people we often see in the media. The EEAN members, which includes local councils, health and community services, will instead use these positive images in their media, information and awareness campaigns.
We are looking for community champions to make this happen!
If you are available from mid-October, a Swinburne student will visit you at your home (or in a public place if restrictions are in place) to photograph or film you. They may ask you questions about the activity you've chosen and why you enjoy it. Students will wear masks at all times. The whole process should take less than one hour.
Interested? Email Diana Bossio dbossio@swin.edu.au to join the register. She will be in touch to confirm a suitable day and time.
