Remembering the Elders of Coronavirus

Special Day of Rememberance

Join the Global Ageing Network on July 8 for a special day of remembrance. Remember the Elders of Coronavirus pays tribute to the elders who we have lost worldwide during the coronavirus pandemic.

This health crisis has robbed our communities of elders who greatly contributed to our society and our lives, and has impacted aged care organizations and older adults in countless ways.

On July 8, we encourage the Global Ageing Network community, care providers, elders, and their families around the world to share photos and videos of candle lightings.

Ways to Participate

• • Share a candle lighting photo or video on social media and include #RememberCoronavirusElders.
    
    
  • Organize an organization-wide or team-wide candle lighting on Zoom and share the recording on social media and include #RememberCoronavirusElders. Click here if you need further assistance organizing the candle lighting on Zoom.
    
    
  • Share Global Ageing Network posts on your social media and include #RememberCoronavirusElders.
