MUGArtS project’s aim is to foster inclusion and civic engagement by empowering seniors as cultural ambassadors through non-formal educational activities in museums and art galleries.

​

Project objectives are:

1. To empower active seniors to become cultural ambassadors and foster their active ageing, lifelong learning, and intergenerational knowledge exchange.

2. To strengthen the role of cultural institutions as inclusive, participatory learning spaces by introducing innovative "Cultural Engagement" methods, such as storytelling, sensory-based activities, and art appreciation experiences, enabling museums and art galleries to offer experiential learning programmes for senior visitors.

3. To promote co-creation and sustainable collaboration by fostering partnerships between adult educators, seniors, museums, art galleries, and senior organizations, ensuring co-design and co-delivery of cultural learning activities that enhance civic engagement and social inclusion.

4. To create and disseminate a replicable, sustainable model for non-formal education in cultural spaces, supported by interactive resources (guides, vodcasts and training materials) and to expand access to lifelong learning for diverse adult learners in community spaces.
