Community
Theatre Anon has collaborated with ACTive Age Malta on two Community projects:
ACTiveAge
ACTive Age Malta is an ongoing drama-based project aimed at the physical, social, creative and emotional development and well-being of older adults.
The first project, which was being organised in collaboration with Integra Foundation, was run at the Hamrun and Sliema Day Care Centres. Through theatrical games in group work, participants were encouraged to move and improvise to a set theme or object from the past. The programme culminated in participants preparing memory boxes and sharing them with the rest of the group.
This project of ACTive Age Malta was funded by Premju Tal-President.
ACTive Age – Intergenerational Dialogue
Using Action Research, theatre and movement workshops, the project generates intergenerational dialogue to create a space for mutual learning and inclusion of older adults and young people (including young migrants) in Malta and Gozo. It seeks to promote greater understanding and respect between generations and ethnic communities, hence contributing towards community development and social justice. Inclusive communities are built on giving and receiving resources and learning opportunities throughout the lifespan. The project is funded by the Fund for Voluntary Organisations, Malta Community Chest Fund (MCCF)
