摘要
Visual representations of aging have historically relied upon binarized clich & eacute;s: idealized youthfulness versus frailty and illness. To challenge these oversimplified depictions, graduate students developed a community outreach project titled 'Seniors of Canada'. The aim of this project was twofold: (1) share images and stories of people in later life; and (2) challenge dominant narratives and stereotypes of aging. In this note, we outline the prevailing discourse of what aging 'looks like', how we collected stories and images, and implications for knowledge mobilization and research in Canada. This article highlights insights gained since the inception of the project, including three key learnings: (1) Building bridges across academia and community, (2) Intergenerational connection and digital tools, and (3) The power of visual storytelling. We provide a practical overview of a successful knowledge mobilization/community outreach project and showcase the power of bridging academia and community for social change. Les repr & eacute;sentations visuelles du vieillissement ont toujours repos & eacute; sur des clich & eacute;s binaris & eacute;s : jeunesse id & eacute;alis & eacute;e par opposition & agrave; fragilit & eacute; et maladie. Pour remettre en question ces repr & eacute;sentations simplifi & eacute;es, des & eacute;tudiants de cycles sup & eacute;rieurs ont mis au point un projet de sensibilisation communautaire intitul & eacute; << Seniors of Canada >>. L'objectif de ce projet & eacute;tait double: (1) partager des images et des t & eacute;moignages de personnes & acirc;g & eacute;es; et (2) remettre en question les r & eacute;cits et st & eacute;r & eacute;otypes dominants sur le vieillissement. Dans cette note, nous d & eacute;crivons le discours dominant sur ce & agrave; quoi ressemble le vieillissement, ainsi que notre d & eacute;marche de collecte de t & eacute;moignages et d'images, et les implications de notre projet pour la mobilisation des connaissances et la recherche au Canada. Ce document met en lumi & egrave;re les connaissances acquises depuis le d & eacute;but du projet, notamment trois th & egrave;mes d'apprentissage cl & eacute;s : (1) la cr & eacute;ation de liens entre le monde universitaire et la communaut & eacute;, (2) les liens interg & eacute;n & eacute;rationnels et les outils num & eacute;riques et (3) le pouvoir de la narration visuelle. Nous donnons un aper & ccedil;u pratique d'un projet r & eacute;ussi de mobilisation des connaissances et de sensibilisation de la communaut & eacute;, et montrons le pouvoir des liens entre le monde universitaire et la communaut & eacute; dans les efforts de changement social.
