Understanding how creative interventions can help develop
social connectivity and resilience for older people is vital in developing a
holistic cross-sector approach towards active ageing. This is the first book to
bring researchers together from multiple disciplines to address the
relationship between taking part in creative interventions and wellbeing.
Academics with a wide range of expertise critically reflect on how the built
environment, community living, cultural participation, lifelong learning, and
artist-led interventions can aid older people to thrive and overcome both
challenging life events and every day changes associated with ageing. Cultural
engagement can allow older people to develop different types of meaningful
social networks and, in the process, to actively contribute to contemporary
societal debates. This book uses participatory research methods to look at the
relationship between taking part in creative interventions, the development of
different types of social relationships and fostering resilience.
