About the Course
This course is inspired by the online program “Inclusive Mobility for an Ageing Population,” developed by RMIT Europe. The original version offers a deeper, five-week learning journey, with approximately 10 hours of content. It provides more time to explore diverse perspectives, engage with peers through structured activities, and reflect on the broader context of inclusive mobility for ageing populations in urban settings. If you’re interested in diving deeper into the topic, you can access the full course on the FutureLearn website: Inclusive Mobility for an Ageing Population

A powerful reminder that mobility and accessibility are about people’s wellbeing and dignity.
