Invitation to Creative Activity in the Ageing Population Webinar

Join the Creative Ireland Programme and the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), Trinity College Dublin for an expert-led webinar to launch the publication of the TILDA report on Creative Activity in the Ageing Population. Creative Ireland has funded TILDA to investigate the impact that participation in creative activity can make on our lives as we get older. The resulting report is the only representative sample of its kind done in Ireland. The report presents findings on participation in arts, creative and cultural activities among older adults in Ireland using data from Wave 6 of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA). TILDA is a nationally representative study of community dwelling adults aged 50 years and over in Ireland. TILDA visits its participants every two years to interview them about their social, economic, health and financial situation. This report follows on from a previous TILDA report “Creative Activity in the Ageing Population”, by examining in more detail engagement, motivations, and barriers to participation in arts, creative and cultural activities. Hosted by Oliva O’Leary there will be contributions from Rebecca Minch - Creative Ireland, Programme Professor Rose-Anne Kenny - Professor of Medical Gerontology at Trinity College Dublin and Catherine McGuigan, Chief Officer, Age Friendly Ireland Thursday 1st June 2023 at 13:00–14:00 online
