Sabine Junginger’s Presentation at the Age Strategy Conference 2023, Zurich

The third Aging Strategy Conference, organized by the Department of Health and Environment of the City of Zurich, took place on November 7, 2023, bringing together 70 stakeholders in aging work. The conference provided an opportunity for participants to reflect on their achievements and discuss ways to further address the needs of the city’s aging population. Notably, the conference highlighted the success of the aging strategy, showcasing concrete results such as the creation of SAW apartments (Stiftung Alterswohnungen der Stadt Zürich) and the implementation of age-friendly benches.

As an invited speaker, Sabine delivered a presentation focusing on the importance of human-centeredness in service design. She emphasized the benefits of creating services together with people, rather than just for them, and highlighted the need for regular review and development to meet the changing needs and preferences of the population. The subsequent workshop allowed for meaningful discussions and the exchange of ideas and solutions among experts from various fields, fostering collaboration and inspiration between the public sector and private organizations.
