The latest episode of the Ondas de Inovação podcast explores dignified and healthy aging through social innovation.

Host Larissa Valverde is joined by Alberto Guedes, founder of E-editora, and Alexandre da Silva, current National Secretary for the Rights of Older Persons (MDHC), to discuss innovative projects that value the knowledge and experience of older adults. The conversation demonstrates how preserving stories can foster a sense of belonging, connect generations, and strengthen community ties.

The episode also emphasizes the importance of designing public policies that account for diversity, inequalities, and differences, recognizing that aging is not only biological but also cultural and social. The message is clear: a society that cares for its older adults is investing in its own future.

The Ondas de Inovação podcast is an initiative of LA-BORA!gov, the Innovative Management Laboratory of the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services. LA-BORA!gov’s mission is to transform relationships, processes, and work environments in the public service through innovative and inclusive management practices.
