"Only Connect!" An international community symposium about the benefits of creative intergenerational and inclusive practice and research
2022

Recognition Type Conference organisation
Description We came together to connect on a deeper level. To be vulnerable and engage in new creative approaches to these complex community challenges.

“Relationship building is conscious, not accidental”
Susan Langford, Magic Me

Compounded by living our lives in and out of lockdowns, with services stretched like never before and the postcode lottery being an increasing reality, we reflected on these last three years, celebrating the powe of creativity to connect, rejuvenate, empower and give voice to those who need it most at a time when they need it most.

“You need the brain, but leave the thinking to the heart”
Ronald Amanze, A Box of Smiles

This three day conference involved and connected people at all levels of the system to the work one another are doing. We invited all delegates into this process, so everyone could truly understand through their own participation and connection why they are essential to the fabric and future of our society.

We believe that moments like these are when systemic change can happen and how we can, more than ever, be in a position to scale up this essential, important and groundbreaking work.
