Picture Yourself is part of a broader international conversation about ageing, visibility, representation, and belonging. Across photography, media, advocacy, research, and the arts, individuals and organisations are working to challenge ageist stereotypes and create more authentic, diverse, and nuanced representations of later life.
This page brings together projects, organisations, photographers, campaigns, and creative voices that are contributing to this important work. We hope these links encourage further exploration, inspire new conversations, and highlight the growing movement toward more inclusive visual cultures of ageing.
United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing.
Longer lives are one of humanity's greatest achievements. However, we don't just want to add years to our lives. We also want to enjoy good health and well-being in later life.
This is healthy ageing.
Today, too many people around the world experience worse health than they should because of unsupportive environments that prevent them from maximising their later years.
The UN Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021–2030) aims to give everyone the opportunity to add life to years, wherever they live.
