Join the Manchester Urban Ageing Research Group’s (MUARG) to celebrate thei 10-year anniversary. To celebrate ten years of MUARG’s collective research into making cities and communities better for older people, they are hosting a range of workshops for everyone to attend: older people, community groups, policymakers, third sector organisation members, researchers, and more. These workshops will focus on how meaningful co-production can be achieved and shaping the group’s future research agenda.
Across the day, you will be able to choose two workshops to attend from a mix of hands-on, creative methods sessions (zine-making, reflective poetry, creative arts, and more) and more discussion-focused workshops (film screening and discussion, design, urban regeneration, and more), so there will be something for everyone interested in improving the quality of life of older people in urban areas.
At the event, MUARG are also excited to launch their new collective publication: Collaborative Research for Ageing in Place: Stories of Co‑Production in Practice. The book is a collection of examples of researchers working together with communities in a variety of contexts and aims to promote learning and critical reflection on co-production methodologies.
Join to celebrate and connect as MUARG bring together all partners from research, communities, policy, and practice.
There will be a lunch provided for all attendees and a cake marking the 10th year anniversary to share as well.
