Canadian Visitors
We had two productive and enjoyable visits by Canadian colleagues over the summer. On 2nd July, 2010 we hosted Prof Janet Fast and Jacquie Eales, from the University of Alberta in Edmonton. Janet and Jacquie were visiting to discuss the links between ‘Ages and Stages’ and their project entitled: Health and Creative Aging: Theatre as a Pathway to Healthy Aging, which involves research with the ‘GeriActors and Friends’ intergenerational theatre company in Edmonton. Also present at the day-long meeting were three members of the NDA’s ‘Older People’s Reference Group’, Diane Andrewes, Teresa Lefort and Elizabeth Sclater, who have chosen to be linked with our project.
