Linking with Age and Opportunity

Linking with Age and Opportunity, and Help the Aged charities in Ireland and Northern Ireland

Dr Jonathan Skinner, Co-PI with Dr Sylvia O’Sullivan (Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick)

CARDI network grant (2009-2011)

The objective of this research network is to draw together those researchers and practitioners - those in academia and in national agencies and public trusts north and south of the border - who explore the benefits of dance and creative movement as a vital aspect of 'well-being' in the older population.  Following initial meetings and knowledge transfer, there will be two complementary seminars held in the University of Limerick and Queen's University Belfast to establish the network, to summarise on-going and previous activities, and to strategise future joint initiatives north and south of the border.
