International Age Diversity Day 2026

Global Campaign Toolkit

Set the Benchmark for Age Inclusion

International Age Diversity Day is a global movement recognising the value of age diversity in the workplace and encouraging organisations to build inclusive environments where people of all ages can contribute and thrive.

To support organisations participating in the campaign, we have developed the International Age Diversity Day Global Campaign Toolkit.

The toolkit provides practical guidance, ideas, and resources to help organisations celebrate International Age Diversity Day and promote age-inclusive workplaces.
