Samenvatting
The European Network for Age and Culture: the age-culture.net partners want to demonstrate a panorama of the diversity and richness of cultural activity for, with and by older people in Europe. The first part in the book has articles about: the relevance of creativity and the arts in the contexts of social participation, access and inclusion agendas, lifelong learning and life quality. The second part goes about the strategies and methods related to reaching out to new audiences. The last part lets see exemplary artistic experiences in the field of community work and also some reports on successful European co-operation projects like: 'Making Memories Matter' that organised an exhibition of three-dimensional 'Life Portrait Boxes' made by older people and artists that toured across all Europe. To encourage meaningful participation of older people in the arts as creators, organisers and audience; to challenge negative attitudes towards ageing; and to contribute to the fostering of policy for the arts in older age, are the goals of the European Network for Age and Culture 'age-culture.net'. The network was established in November 2005 as an initiative of the German Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia. It links cultural operators, producers, and creators of culture who are active in the fields of arts education and culture in older age from all over Europe. Partners from Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, The Netherlands, Spain and the U.K. share and exchange best practice in this field of work. They develop multilateral cooperative projects and promote a positive culture of ageing through advocacy, information, education, training and strategic partnerships. With this European manual the network partners want to demonstrate a panorama of the diversity and richness of cultural activity for, with and by older people in Europe. |
