The Art of Ageing is a Wellcome Trust funded public engagement project that shines a spotlight on the ageing experiences of 60 + year olds in Zimbabwe and The Gambia through creative projects.
In our first two years, we will be running an Art of Ageing Competition, producing an Ageing Well film and developing a Story of Ageing brochure – all of which will feature findings from Zimbabwe and The Gambia.
Giving older people a voice to express their opinions about ageing
The Art of Ageing is a public engagement programme that gives older people a voice to express their opinions and experiences about ageing. It promotes innovation and ideas towards well-being in older age, and aims to combat ageism.
These aims align with those of the WHO Healthy Ageing 2021-30 strategy.
