2007 Namhae Active Ageing Conference in Asia Pacific


2007 Namhae Active Ageing Conference in Asia Pacific will be held from May 16 to 18, this week. The institute has worked in cooperation with the administration of Namhae and many other organizations. Also, a number of national and international professionals in gerontology have showed us their strong support and hard effort for the successful conference, which has spurred us to work even harder. Without the support and interest from all of you, we would not have been able to come this far. We’d like to extend our sincere gratitude to every one of you and cordially look forward to seeing you in Namhae with all of our heart. Thank you.

Centenarian in Namhae


This is the picture of an elderly woman whose age is 100 and currently living in the longevity region of Namhae. The four generations are living together in her house and she still maintains her grace at her age. Her 100th anniversary passed just a month ago and we congratulated her birthday. We sincerely hope many elders will live a healthy and active life in old age and work together for active ageing. From her smile, we can feel “getting older is not just bad.”
