Our culture is very biased towards the young. It prioritises beauty over wisdom, and innovation over experience. It assumes older people are neither beautiful
nor innovative. As our population ages, we need to build a society which is kinder, more generous to its elders.
A festival of workshops, theatre, song and wellbeing
For three days this autumn Storyhouse, together with Age UK Cheshire and Brightlife, will give its focus to combating loneliness within Chester’s older residents.
We want to welcome older people to the cultural centre and give them pre-eminence.
There’s a line-up of arts and crafts, mindfulness workshops, one-stop-shops on pensions, retirement plans and digital workshops on how to use an iPad, together with laughter yoga, performances and improvisation.
