Summary:

Music, art, dance, drama and writing provide a means of communication for everyone, even those people who otherwise have difficulty communicating and connecting with others in their daily life. Creative activity can bring communities together, using a universal language of self-expression that crosses cultural and generational divides. The papers in this themed issue of Working with Older People demonstrate how creative activity has been used to improve the life experience of older people.
