About
Growing Older is a year-long research and reporting project by the Global Reporting Program in partnership with The Globe and Mail. Global Reporting Program students based in Finland, South Korea, Sweden, and Canada reported from the field on trends in aging on both individual and societal levels.
The project was made possible with generous funding and support from Mindset Foundation, the Giustra Foundation and Angus Reid Institute. Additional funding and support provided by the University of British Columbia’s School of Journalism, Writing and Media, and the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation.
