"Can culture help us belong?" with Nakib Narat Manchester Museum Podcast
-
- Society & Culture
Nationally and globally populations are ageing, but the image of growing older isn't always a positive one. Through the Age Friendly Manchester partnership, Greater Manchester became the UK's first age friendly city, and is focused on improving the quality of later life by collaborating and co-designing with the city's residents. By engaging with, and being led by older people, the hope is that the city becomes a place for all, no matter what their age.
Participation in culture is key to building social inclusion and the Greater Manchester Culture Champions are at the centre of this work. The Culture Champion programme seeks to increase access to the Arts and Culture for people aged 50 and over, with Champions like our guest on the podcast today, Nakib Narat, attracting participants to take part in, advocate for and shape cultural activity.
Nakib is in conversation with the Museum’s Culture Champion Co-ordinator, Maria Jose Acevedo, discussing how culture, in its many forms boosts connection and a sense of belonging... to each other, to our community and to the city.
