Taste for Life was initiated to fight loneliness in older people. Using cooking and storytelling as ways to engage, the initiative produced short stories from Madrid and south Wales. People from other countries were invited to connect with their older neighbours and upload their own local recipes and stories.
On 15 November 2018 the project’s open Facebook page was launched, which people across the world can access to view participants’ videos, listen to and read their trilingual stories, and follow their recipes. Also published on the Facebook page are poems written by Welsh poets Mike Church and clare e. potter inspired by the lives of the participants.
This project and collaboration was made possible through the Tandem Europe programme, a cross-border collaboration scheme that aims to bring about social change through cultural innovation activities. Literature Wales was successful in being selected to participate in the prestigious and competitive scheme in 2017-2018.
