dc.description.abstractThis collaboration came at an interesting point for the Cork Age Friendly City Programme. The previous Age Friendly Strategy for the city covered 2016 – 2020 and work on the new strategy had been delayed due to Covid. In that time period the city expanded its borders. The focus of the collaboration, based on initial discussions with the Cork Age Friendly Coordinator, was to begin the development of the next strategy (2024-2028) with older adults. The proposed guiding question was: “What are the themes of importance for older adults for the 2024-2028 Cork Age Friendly City Strategy? The Cork Age Friendly City coordinator recruited a group of older persons and relevant stakeholders to participate in the project. These individuals were recruited from various communities, voluntary and social groups, and included representation from relevant stakeholder groups such as the HSE and the Cork Public Participation Network and Age Friendly representatives. UCC had nine students enrolled on the module and the three module lecturers, bringing the combined group to about 25 people. The group met on Wednesday mornings for 4 x 2.5-hour sessions from February to March. In these sessions, the large group engaged in a series of exercises to encourage discussion on people’s experience of living in Cork, and their preferences for an Age Friendly City. On the 10th April 2024, the group came together for a final public facing session in the Cork City Hall as part of the Cork Life Long Learning Festival.en
