The inspiration of programs such as Old People’s Home for Four-year-olds could come to life on the Fleurieu, with an initiative of the City of Victor Harbor.

Connecting through the Art of Ageing aims to bring together the generations in community-wide activities for all ages.

The project will be run by the council and Spark Curiosity Consulting in partnership with Alexandrina Council, District Council of Yankalilla and the Office for Ageing Well.

It is calling for community groups, schools, early childhood centres, youth groups, seniors’ clubs, sports clubs, and local residents to get involved.

The project can facilitate conversation workshops or supply resources for groups to run their own workshops.

These will explore the big questions about life and ageing, forging connections between age groups and community groups.

Photos, drawings, stories, dance, music, theatre, painting or other creative art that represent interactions from the project will be showcased in each council area to engage the broader community.

More information about Connecting through the Art of Ageing can be found the council website.

Groups and individuals interested in joining the project should email Dana or Michelle or call 8551 0571.   

The project is funded through an Age Friendly SA Grant from Office for Ageing Well, SA Health.
