Conveying our messages in a new way

• Glimpses of people’s lived experiences mostly through their own images and words

• Artistic approach - aims to engage hearts as well as minds

• Wanting to reach older people and the wider public – not just our usual policy and practice audiences

What are the changes we’d like to see?

• Less focus on older age as a problem

• More focus on:– growing old as a central and valued experience of life– the rewards of older age and the contributions of older people

• More recognition that society has always had to adapt to demographic and social change

• Commitment to older people being part of this process.
