On 6 November 2025, a virtual solution session will be held as an official side event to the Second UN World Summit for Social Development (WSSD2).

Hosted by the Canadian social enterprise Age Knowble, the session is titled:
“From Potential to Progress: Empowering Every Generation for Social Development in Asia and Africa.”

This session will explore how intergenerational inclusion and a human rights-based approach can help advance social development across sectors such as health, employment, social protection, and the environment. It will bring together partners from Asia and Africa to share practices and pathways that benefit people of all ages.

The ASEM Global Ageing Center is pleased to support this event as a promotional sponsor.

We warmly invite all those interested in the Summit to register for and join this session.
