When a project won’t just end…
We started our DigInclude project 2 years ago. While it’s coming to its official end, we are far from really ending it.

Since conscious ageing and shifting the narrative of ageing became my life mission and my main professional occupation 8 years ago (at the age of 42), I have never had any problems with starting a conversation with people I didn’t know. People ofContinue reading “UnfOlding – The current (toxic) narrative of ageing”
