Population ageing is one of the most significant demographic and social trends of the 21st century, affecting nearly all the countries in the world. Increasing life expectancy is indeed a remarkable achievement of development and health care. However, it also poses obvious challenges. Older people are coming to represent a proportionately larger share of the total population, presenting social, economic and cultural challenges to individuals, families, public welfare systems and societies. The Age on stage project aims at using theatre arts, as a tool to combat social exclusion and isolation as well as stimulating active citizen participation among elderly people and make them feel part of an inclusive Europe. The Age on stage project has the objective to develop a Theatre pathway focused on life Stories of seniors participants. Theatre Lab project will introduce acting and presentation skills to help older people shape their memories into stories culminating in a public performance for peers and others in the community. Trainers will encourage participants to recall sometimes rare memories stirred by a common item, such as a thimble, or a question such as “Can you describe the first kitchen you ever remember eating in ? Do you remember the first time you used remote control for television ?
