EDUCATION & COMMUNITY PROGRAMME<br />
Programme for Older People<br />
<strong>West</strong> <strong>Cork</strong> <strong>Arts</strong> <strong>Centre</strong> is committed to<br />
developing programmes specifically<br />
aimed at older people. These programmes<br />
are developed over time and<br />
inspired by ideas from both artists and<br />
participants.<br />
Where possible, programmes are<br />
supported through partnerships which<br />
allow for the project to have potential<br />
longevity in terms of funding support<br />
and shared resources.<br />
Programmes are devised and informed<br />
by participants and organisations such<br />
as <strong>West</strong> <strong>Cork</strong> Older People’s Network<br />
and local Active Retirement Associations,<br />
ensuring that they are appropriate<br />
and meaningful for both artist and<br />
participant.<br />
Programmes take place both on-site<br />
and off-site. <strong>Arts</strong> for an Active Mind<br />
and the newly developed Music for an<br />
Active Mind are two projects that take<br />
place at the <strong>Centre</strong>.<br />
<strong>Arts</strong> for an Active Mind has been running<br />
for three years with a number of<br />
artists delivering the workshops. The<br />
main artist and significant contributor<br />
to the programme’s success is Paul<br />
Cialis who encourages skills development<br />
and challenges the participants<br />
to expand their creative thinking. The<br />
participants sometimes explore a<br />
shared theme and at other times work<br />
on their individual painting.
