How is Creative Exchanges organised?Staff and PartnersCreative Exchanges is managed by Age & Opportunity's Coordinator of Education and Training Programmes, Paul Maher, who oversees programme development, delivery and assessment, assigns Trainers to deliver training; facilitates drama workshops; ensures FETAC Quality Assurance is maintained. Contracted trainers deliver the Creative Exchanges programme, including two qualified Process Drama Facilitators, a qualified Process Art Facilitator and other contracted consultants as required. FundingCreative Exchanges is an Age & Opportunity initiative supported by the Health Service Executive. In kind support has also been provided by the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) who have generously provided a venue for training. HistoryFormerly known as ‘Arts in Care’, Creative Exchanges has its origins in an AIB Better Ireland Award that was given to Age & Opportunity in 1998 for its arts work. In 1999, Age & Opportunity’s Arts and Older People Advisory Committee advised Age & Opportunity to explore the potential for developing an arts in care settings project in the Midland Health Board area. This resulted in the Arts in Care project, now known as Creative Exchanges. |

Home is a special place for most of us. Older & Bolder’s campaign MAKE HOME WORK highlights the obstacles faced by people – older people, people with chronic illnesses, people with disabilities - who want to live well at home and who need support to do so.
