About this Event
Preceded by a free networking lunch, this afternoon of knowledge sharing and networking will include presentations from:
- The Wise Guys, Highland Print Studio’s print-making programme for older men
- Open Book, a Scotland-wide reading and creative writing organisation
- Westerton Male Voice Choir, from Bearsden
The afternoon will be chaired by Jim Tough, and there will be plenty of time for discussion. Freelancers are invited to claim their travel expenses to attend this event.
Informed by The Baring Foundation’s recent report, Missing Out: Creative Ageing and Men - The Baring Foundation, the event will consider approaches to engaging men in creative ageing programmes across Scotland.
This event would be of particular interest to freelance artists, representatives from cultural, arts, or community organisations, and/or people whose work involves supporting older people.
