💛 Celebrating ageing. Celebrating connection.

Positive Ageing Week is a chance to recognise the many ways older people enrich our families, workplaces and communities across Ireland.

This year, with the theme Connecting Generations, we’re shining a light on what we can learn from one another – at every age and every stage of life.

By listening, sharing and connecting across generations, we can challenge ageism and build a society where everyone is valued and included.

Because every generation has a part to play. 🤝

📝MEMOIR WRITING WORKSHOP with an acclaimed author Greg Dinner ✍️

In this intensive three-hour workshop, Greg will explore how memories, experiences and family stories can become compelling writing — from finding your voice and choosing what to tell, to developing characters and shaping the memoir you want to write.

His screenwriting credits include BBC’s Silent Witness and Waking the Dead, Disney’s Shipwrecked, Stranded and The MatchMaker. Earlier in his career, he worked as a film executive and later served as Head of Drama Development at RTÉ. He has taught screenwriting and storytelling at BA and MA level at institutions including the London Film School.
Greg is also the author of several novels and works of non-fiction, including A Requiem for Hania, Fragments and Whispers of Ghosts: A Journal of Days and Nights Ukraine. His writing frequently explores memory, history, conflict and human experience.
