Description
As part of a research project at the University of Greenwich, we are exploring the impact of creative programmes on the well-being and social inclusion of older adults (over 60 years old) in the Royal Borough of Greenwich and surrounding areas.
The project is led by Dr Jingxi Huang, Professor Jin Hooi Chan, and Dr Athina Piterou from the School of Business Operations and Strategy, and is supported by two research assistants, Dhara Thakkar and Alex Bruno.
Funded by the university’s Network and Urban Systems Centre. Our team plans to currently engage with community groups, programme organisers, and older participants to better understand how creative activities can support ageing populations.
