Within the theme of belonging and using creative, reflective writing, we’ll celebrate ageing as a life-long process rather than later life as a time of frailty and decline.
In celebrating the value of life experience and the perspective that this brings, we’ll bring generations together to explore different subcultures and forms of self-expression over the decades.
