Creative Approaches in Dementia Research
October 13 @ 10:30 am - 4:00 pm
Join the EMPOWER Dementia Network+ for an interactive workshop exploring the use of creative methods in dementia research.
Creative methods such as photography, film, sound, storytelling, object handling and other arts based approaches can provide new ways of exploring and understanding the experiences of people living with dementia and those who care for them. They can also support meaningful participation, co-production, engagement and knowledge exchange.
During the event, we will explore creative research methods through practical, interactive activities followed by hearing about the project, Seen and Heard: The Role of Sound and Moving Image to Connect People with Dementia Within, Outwards and Across Generations.
The day will include:
- An introduction to creative research methods and discussion of their benefits and challenges
- Interactive workshops exploring different creative methods, including photobooks, object handling and a selection of other approaches
- Opportunities to share experiences and discuss how creative methods could be used in dementia research
- Lunch and networking
- A presentation on the Seen and Heard project
- Collaborative development of a physical Creative Methods Toolkit, where participants can contribute ideas and suggestions throughout the day
All are welcome, including researchers, community organisations, people living with dementia, family members and carers, health and social care professionals, practitioners, and anyone interested in dementia research and creative approaches.
We look forward to seeing you in October.
