A one day engagement and dissemination event organised in Tarija, Bolivia to communicate findings from the fieldwork in Tarija on the effects of migration on the population aged 60+. the research has been carried out in collaboration with the group Jaina.
Invitees included local and regional authorities, local academics, the Director of Tarija Older People’s home, HelpAge International Bolivia and the local and regional associations of senior citizens. Through this event we aim to use the findings from this research project to advance the concerns of older people.
