Coronavirus (COVID19) and Lock-down

The Art of Conversation: Living History
Arts and Cultural Discourse


Culture is created by society. People from generation to generation. Styles, fashions, trends, art and more evolve around it. The older generation are living history themselves. A plethora of life experience and indeed cultural. In these times of isolation for some in the older generation due to the Coronavirus many may experience anxiety or depression with the lock-down. If you have family, friends, neighbours contact them to ensure they are safe and well, but lend an ear and encourage them to speak of their own life experience. It will not only be positive for them, but for you as well to share in life experience and culture.

For the older generation of your family, friends and neighbours ensure they:

Stay safe and well.
Stay connected.
Maintain their routines.
Be active.
Look after their health.
Support them where needed.
