What does ageing mean to you? Be part of a new exhibition

26 October 2021

Submit a short video and be part of a showcase at Tomorrow’s Home

Taking place at the Museum of the Home, Tomorrow’s Home will create an immersive and interactive space to imagine what home healthcare will look like in 30 years’ time. From playful provocations about our future social lives to inspiring examples of technologies that enable healthy ageing and independent living. 

Alongside the exhibition, we are creating a programme of seminars and conversation pieces to explore these questions with members of the public and researchers. 

Be part of the conversation 

We want to know what ageing means to you. Some questions to get you thinking...

  • What are you enjoying or looking forward to as you get older? 
  • What are you worried about? 
  • Do you think people change as they get older? 
  • Who are your older role models? 
  • What does home mean to you? 
  • If you could have one device in your home of the future what would it be?  

Submit a short video of yourself or a friend answering the question, ‘What does ageing mean to you?” and you could be part of a video playing at the exhibition. 

To take part: 

  • Record a video (up to 20 seconds long) of yourself speaking directly to your phone camera or computer webcam 
  • Make sure your face is clearly visible and your audio is clear 
  • Send your recording to healthcare-eng@ucl.ac.uk along with your name so we can give you credit (or you can opt to remain anonymous) 

Deadline for video applications: Monday 15 November
