ACORNS 367: Arts and culture across generations

IFACCA - International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies,
15 September 2017, International

In the United Kingdom, the Arts Council of Wales is also working to improve the lives and wellbeing of older people through arts and culture, by 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. At the other end of the generational scale, the UK’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport has announced that £40 million will be invested in the Youth Investment Fund, which will boost the skills and life chances of young people living in disadvantaged areas. Further south, Creative New Zealand is supporting the upcoming third annual Pacific Heritage Arts Fono, which will bring generations together, with a focus on passing on knowledge from older to younger arts practitioners.
