Wales is a nation of older people, and older people contribute massively to our communities, culture and economy. Despite this invaluable contribution, many older people are unable to lead the lives they want to, and their desires are often overlooked and undervalued. The Arts Council of Wales is offering a free event to share skills, knowledge and good practice, and help the Council develop better ways to engage with older people and improve their quality of life and wellbeing through involvement with arts, culture and heritage.
Who is the event for?
People working in arts, culture and heritage interested in exploring partnerships with other cultural organisations or project including museums, libraries, arts venues and sports clubs.
Older people and community groups interested in helping developing age-friendly practices with cultural organisations.
People and organisations working closely with older people interested in using arts and culture in their work.
What are the aims of the day?
- To learn from each other and share good practice, and develop a directory of age friendly projects and activities involving cultural institutions around Wales.
- To learn about some of the inspiring and innovative work already taking place around Wales, and find out how to get involved.
- To learn about the resources that organisations including museums, libraries, galleries and arts venues can provide to help you in your work.
- To make new contacts and partners to work on age-friendly projects around Wales.
- To propose new partnership projects between cultural organisations and the public, private and third sectors.
