The world where we feel more and more lonely and helpless.  \nHumanity is aging. The problem of elderly people is their social isolation caused by the end of their professional activity. The lack of activities as well as a lack of a specific plan ofaction, often aggravated by diseases, make them confused and apathetic. The lack of social contact with others causes most elderly people to focus on themselves, their pain and suffering. Elderly people who are more intellectually fit begin to bear grudge against their families for not caring for them and having been disposed of as unnecessary objects, and that their relatives do not visit them. An elderly individual needs more love, attention and proof of safety. As someone who does not work professionally and does not fulfill any social functions, they might feel rejected. Their reality gets mixed up with the past and, unfortunately, the most painful one. Currently, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is a factor exacerbating alienation and anxiety among the elderly. Therefore, a need arose to build awareness of the problem of social exclusion among seniors as a high-risk group in difficult periods of social isolation. All of this is to create effective tools for restoring and strengthening the sense of agency in elderly people, the sense of responsibility for their lives and the ability to change circumstances.  \nA human being is equipped with an inner mec","cbCaij2kHHCAETaP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaij2kHHCAETaP","pdf",11994766,130,"English","# Introduction\n## Background: pandemic and isolation\n## Elderly aging and social exclusion\n## Creativity, body awareness, and communication","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the “Art Bridge” project focus on?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on social exclusion and isolation experienced by seniors, intensified during the pandemic and affecting well-being, agency, and communication.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the publication describe reasons behind elderly social isolation?\",\"answer\":\"It links isolation to the end of professional activity, limited activities and planning, health-related difficulties, and reduced social contact, which can lead to apathy and anxiety.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is creativity and art considered important in this approach?\",\"answer\":\"The text explains that art perception and the creative process support aesthetic needs, strengthen a sense of agency, and improve communication through deeper interpretation of reality and awareness of bodily experiences.\"}]","ART BRIDGE - the road to harmony | PDF",200]
