On 10 March 2026 at 12:00-13:00 GMT there is a free online event The Creative Gateway: Unlocking Digital Worlds for Older People. My colleagues Dr Sharon Wagg, Dr Pam KcKinney and Laura Woods will present "research that highlights the powerful role that arts, culture and creativity can play in supporting digital inclusion for older people. Funded by Arts Council England, in Partnership with 100% Digital Leeds, the research shows how creative activities can act as a vital gateway into the digital world and offers practical recommendations for libraries, creative and cultural organisations, local authorities and funders, alongside a new toolkit to support action."
