Creative Conversations, led by Arts Alive and MediaActive, is a three year partnership development that links experienced agencies for arts, and health, to help establish a new exciting countywide development that aims to establish new opportunities for people, aged 55 and over, to get creative. Participants may want to develop their own creative ideas, acquire new skills that can be shared with others, or may simply wish to try something new.
One of only four initiatives to be funded in the whole of the Midlands through the Celebrating Age programme, jointly funded by the Arts Council through the National Lottery and the Baring Foundation, the project partnership involves Age UK, Shropshire Council, and Shropshire Provider's Consortium members, including Qube and Wem Town Hall.
Activity will take place in day centres, care homes, and community spaces, giving older people a chance to work with artists and participate in arts activities ranging from storytelling, music, singing, and creative use of technology.
