Last but not least! Let's take a look at the 12th Ashoka - Fit for Life Fellow that will be attending our globaliser event on the 5th and 6th of June! ⬇️ Sergio Serapiao is revolutionising the role of aging in Brazil 🇧🇷 with his organisation, Labora. Founded in 2018 and recognised as an Ashoka Fellow in the same yea, Labora is challenging the traditional views on aging, fostering intergenerational relationships, economic inclusion, and community engagement. Sergio's initiative aims to redefine old age in Brazil, turning older adults into both protagonists and beneficiaries of social innovation. With over 25% of Brazil's population over 50—an age group still facing significant societal and workplace discrimination—Sergio is leading a national movement to shift these perceptions. Labora’s approach includes creating an online community and learning environment that offers over 500 hours of courses on new professions, self-awareness, and the future of work, specifically tailored for senior talent. They’ve also developed technology to reduce unconscious bias in hiring and support companies to reevaluate their ageist policies. By participating in the Globaliser Systems Change Accelerator, Sergio is looking to deepen strategic thinking on how older adults can remain integrated within the workforce and community, helping to develop policies that support a more inclusive approach to aging.
