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.
