On February 6, 2024, the scientific results of the research project “Co-développement et déploiement d’un cycle de visites muséales pour lutter contre l’isolement social des personnes aînées montréalaises” were presented by Prof. Olivier Beauchet, header of Axis Arts and Health of the CREAT Chair. 

The half-day conference brought together a large number of people keen to learn more about the virtual guided tour program, a unique social innovation in Canada aimed at combating the social isolation of seniors. The project, which received support from the FRQSC, was developed as part of a collaboration between the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal and the AgeTeQ research laboratory located at the Centre de Recherche de l’Institut Universitaire de Gériatrie de Montréal.
