The Vision of the Site
‘A Site for All Ages’ is the Israeli home for the eradication of ageism. Through this site, we hope to play a central role in the battle against age-related stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination. The site offers a wealth of resources in the field of ageism – knowledge and activities – with the goal of changing age-biased behaviors, feelings and thoughts. A substantial part of the site is devoted to ageism toward older people, in recognition of the fact that the phenomenon hinders people from realizing their inherent potential in the later years of their lives.

The Impact Center
‘A Site for All Ages’ was created as part of the social vision of the Impact Center for the Study of Ageism and Old Age in Israel, an interdisciplinary center supported by Mrs. Gabi Weisfeld. A primary emphasis of the Impact Center is the reduction of ageism, to pave the way for a more egalitarian and inclusive society, which will allow involvement and achievement at any age.
