The project
Museums and cultural spaces move into care homes for older people to run art workshops, removing the barriers that make it hard for older people to enjoy cultural life.
The activities create dynamics that lift the mood, work on cognitive processes and increase interpersonal relationships.
The barriers it breaks down
Mobility barriers
We take the museum to the care homes so that people who cannot travel can still take part in cultural experiences.
Cognitive barriers
We adapt the content, the pace and the dynamics to make attention, understanding and connection with the works easier.
Barriers to living culture first-hand
We bring culture closer through experience, with images, objects, music and tactile materials.
Model
The project works towards rehabilitation goals through art workshops adapted to each care home.
