Creative Later Life

The Creative Later Life (CLL) Project is a SSHRC-funded, pan-Canadian research project involving academic institutions and community partners.

CLL focuses on how music technologies may support inclusive expression, lifelong learning, and quality of life. This cross-sector, interdisciplinary Partnership is focused on developing understandings of how Music and Creative Technologies (MaCT) can be applied in ways that will support inclusive opportunities for creative expression, lifelong learning and participation, and enhanced quality of later life. Our partnership is founded upon the idea that digital music technologies offer strong potential to:
(1) serve as a vehicle whereby older people may overcome barriers to creative musical engagement and maximize the potential for the wider benefits of music-making to enhance their quality of life; and;
(2) function as a context where the generational digital divide may be mediated. Our Partnership is designed to:
(1) mobilize knowledge from cross-sector, interdisciplinary, and intergenerational perspectives concerning the ways in which music technology can support a creative later life;
(2) expand the opportunities for creative expression through music, amongst older people;
(3) deepen the learning and engagement of older people in our digital age in ways they will find meaningful and relevant;
(4) create resources that will be used by caregivers and community music leaders in their professional practice. Learn more at: camlab.community

The past year-and-a-half has led to many struggling with isolation and loneliness, though technology has helped build or maintain a sense of community and belonging. Has technology helped keep you stay in touch with loved ones and hobbies? How may we address bringing technology to older adults and those who may have limited access? We'd love to see your thoughts in the comments below!
