For this week's class, we first debriefed about visiting the LGBT Center in Hillcrest. Everyone went around and shared the stories they had heard. Afterwards, we went over rough drafts of HAP posters. For my group, we went over our Walk-a-thon. Our overview is that we are studying the healthy aging process, how we can achieve overall happiness, wellness, and fitness in our elder years and what policies, activities, or events we can implement to promote healthy aging. The goals of our project are to promote healthy living and fitness, to create a fun activity that would bring generations together, and to increase a sense of intergenerational connection to the San Diego community. Our event is on June 1st at the Balboa Park Senior Lounge. It will be a 1.5 mile walk. Our methods include event promotion via Facebook email to clubs, sororities, local walking groups, and the LCS website. We will have a feedback survey for people to fill out to gather results. Our results will include how many people came, length of time of the walk, what the environment was like, data charts or graphs, outcome of the project as well as photos from the event. We then went over everyone's Debunking Ageism projects. I saw a lot of infographics, blogs, pamphlets, and social media pages. I really liked the 0 to 100 video showing people counting numbers at the age they were at. I also really liked the memes people created about aging and the stereotypes around the aging population.
