Abstract

The growing aging population addresses the need to question which aspects foster good aging. The development of creativity has been considered one of the aspects that can help the elderly adapt to the changes old age can bring. For this reason, strategies and techniques are necessary to develop creative ability in old age. It is essential to work with the socially negative stereotypes on aging and to implement positive practices that promote successful aging. Then, we present a theoretical journey on the concept of creativity and related research, plus specific tools to increase and improve the creative abilities, which were used in workshops for elderly people.
