Creative Exchanges: Age & Opportunity Summer 2025 Course at IMMA

Are you interested in learning how to plan and facilitate arts activities for older people? The Creative Exchanges course from Age & Opportunity is designed for activity co-ordinators, and those with an arts background interested in engaging with older people in residential or day care settings.

This June, the Creative Exchanges two-day course is coming to IMMA (Irish Museum of Modern Art), Dublin.

What to Expect
Creative Exchanges provides participants with:

• Practical skills to carry out creative activities with people in residential and day care settings
• An understanding of the value of creative activity, particularly in care settings
• Experience of taking part in arts-based workshops

The course is designed to provide meaningful opportunities to engage older people in arts activities and adopts a person-centred approach promoted by HIQA’s National Quality Standards for Residential Care Settings for Older People (2016). On completion of the course, a Certificate of Attendance will be issued to participants by Age & Opportunity.
