   "The RoAD Project is investigating how age discrimination is experienced by older people, and how it affects all our lives. A particular emphasis is on forms of discrimination which are neglected in the media despite being a common experience for older people. The project will develop tools and strategies for challenging ageist behaviour and promoting a more age-inclusive society".
