Discover what guides Culture for seniors!
Working with the community, this project aims to improve the health and well-being of seniors by encouraging social participation and inclusion through arts and culture.
Our approach: a collective impact
To break the social isolation of seniors on our territory, Culture for seniors adopts a collective impact approach—an innovative model that relies on collaboration. To achieve long-lasting change, this approach unites several organizations and stakeholders around a common issue.

Our strategy: promote social participation
Social participation is a key determinant of health and promotes active aging in seniors. With this in mind, Culture for seniors organizes and supports activities that encourage the social inclusion of seniors.Our leverage: cultural mediation
