From July 20-22, 2025, the Population and Place Research Lab hosted the Global Aging Playfully Summit.
The 2025 Global Aging Playfully Summit at Queen’s University brought 22 participants from 11 different countries together to lay the foundations for a world that encourages and supports people to age playfully. The Summit marks an important step in changing the way we think, feel, and act towards age, aging, and play.
From the Welcome Pancake Breakfast to the ramble through the Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area to the intense workshops, inspiring meetings, laughter-filled Virtual Mingle, and Closing BBQ, the Summit was nothing short of extraordinary from start to finish.
