The conference aims to promote awareness of active ageing within a community of approximately 40,000 residents. It is co-organized by several "neighborhood committees" of Jesi and the "Active Ageing" working group of the Regional Section "Marche" of the Italian Society of Hygiene (SItI Marche). Neighborhood committees are non-partisan, non-profit civic participation bodies made up of citizen volunteers with the aim of representing the needs of a specific territorial area to the municipal administration. The "Active Ageing" SItI Marche working group provided scientific support both in the planning and development phase of the program and in the selection of speakers.

The primary objective of this conference is to encourage healthy, independent, and socially engaged ageing.

The event will focus on key determinants of active ageing, with particular attention to lifestyle factors.

Special emphasis will be placed on the role of balanced nutrition in maintaining health over time.

Another central theme will be the importance of regular physical activity, showing accessible and sustainable forms of exercise suitable for different age groups.

Speakers will include public health professional, nutritionist, and physical activity specialist.

The conference will adopt an inclusive and community-oriented approach to be accessible to the general public. The format will combine short expert presentations with practical examples and interactive sessions will be integrated throughout the event. There will be opportunities to ask questions and share personal experiences.

The goal is to foster dialogue and empower citizens to make informed choices helping to counter misinformation by providing the public with scientifically validated, reliable, and practical information

Overall, it seeks to translate scientific knowledge into practical, everyday actions.
