치유를 위한 소통으로서의 노년 글쓰기

Abstract

In the Korean society, a considerable number of elderly people are in a crisis situation such as poor economic environment, loss of self - esteem, and disconnection with the surrounding area. Of course, there are still many programs in the elderly nursing homes and welfare centers. To supplement this, efforts are being made to increase the welfare budget and to expand the social support program at the local government and the government level. However, there is a lack of practical programs that enable older people to spend their old age healthily and happily. In this study, we tried to find a way to link creative and productive writing in elderly nursing homes and learning centers by using notes that can be easily implemented in life and the concept of living writing. In Japan, there are many writers active in old age, and the social atmosphere is also favorable. In Korea recently, social interest in writing of old age is increasing as shown in the cases of Jeonnam and Gangwon provinces. If this program is not limited to writing but combined with other mixed arts in the future, it can be extended to preventing dementia, restoring its role as a member of society, and restoring relationships. This means that it seeks new relationship based on personal reflection and experience sharing pursued by writing and revitalization of external communication.
