This symposium
has been organized as part of the Creative Age Festival to promote
recognition of, and help develop the field of arts and aging in Canada.
This symposium provides a unique training and development opportunity
for senior-serving agencies, health providers, seniors, students, and
researchers involved in this area, or those simply interested in
learning more about the field of arts and aging.
Presentations and
workshops will be showcased that explore the significance of arts and
aging, in terms of cultural contributions, lifelong learning, community
connections, social service and health care.
This symposium will also
provide a forum for sharing experience, innovative program models, best
practices and research, to promote quality arts-based experiences for
older adults.
