The Arts & Creative Charter for Older People aims to increase and enrich the experiences and confidence of older arts participants, audiences and artists in their engagement with arts organisations in Ireland. See Charter HERE.
By adopting this Charter, we set out our commitments in relation to engaging with older people.
These are the commitments we strive to adhere to:
1. We welcome older people.
2. We eliminate barriers to older people’s participation in and enjoyment of our activities and aim to ensure that our buildings, online activities, programming, communications and information are as accessible as possible to the broadest range of older people.
3. We seek the active participation and feedback of older people in relation to all that we do.
4. We reject ageist language and commit to communicating clearly and openly with and about older people.
5. We create and support opportunities for diverse communities to collaborate and create together in all aspects of our work.
6. We invest in older people’s creativity and involvement.
7. We foreground the participation and value of older people in our communications.
8. We ensure that all our employment, commissioning, funding, volunteering, learning and collaboration opportunities are fair and inclusive of older people.
