Art in nursing homes with Allô Miró

The Allô Miró initiative

The Allô Miró initiative offers all volunteers the opportunity to have a conversation about a work of art with residents of nursing homes. 

The goal is to offer a human exchange that starts with an artistic exchange around a work that you are passionate about and that you choose beforehand.

The sessions can take place via videoconference, telephone or in person depending on your availability and that of the nursing home.

Created in January 2021, the Allô Miró initiative already includes nearly 25 participating nursing homes with more than 270 sessions carried out, 70 volunteers involved and 150 residents reached.

THE programme Allô Miró benefits from the generous support of Korian.

The volunteer mission

We invite you to join the volunteers who are already participating in this initiative and to register for a 30 to 45 minute session with one or more residents of nursing homes.

You will talk to them about a work of art you have chosen: we can suggest a selection of artworks and related texts if you wish, otherwise you are completely free to talk about whatever interests you. Afterwards, you can have a discussion about this artwork and art in general, or any other topic you feel is relevant. These conversations are not art history lessons and are not presented as such at the care home: they are a free and informal exchange between art enthusiasts and residents. 

The sessions will also be structured according to a format that will be communicated to you in advance to support you in this mission.
