🎁 Because ageing itself is already a gift.

Wishing you a wonderful festive season from all of us in THE STAGE PROJECT.

That’s why, this year, our suggestion is not another anti-ageing product or quick fix, but care, attention and understanding for the ageing process itself — because ageing is, in fact, an achievement.

Global life expectancy has risen from 46 years in 1950 to 72 years in 2023 — a clear sign that ageing is the result of better care, health, and quality of life. So, rather than trying to slow a natural process, perhaps the real focus should be on improving its quality.

💬 “Our visions of ageing aren’t just a matter of individual preference; they’re deeply shaped by the cultures we’ve grown up in and the beliefs we’ve internalised along the way.”

So, how will you shape the story of your own ageing?

In her piece, Odelia invites us to consider how factors beyond the biological shape our ageing journeys, while also offering insights on the Five Core Themes of Successful Ageing – Through a Global Lens.
