Beschreibungen/Notizen
Literature on the care of people with dementia is still sparse and this is reflected in the professional education curriculum such as social work, nursing & other health care professionals. This paper describes an educational partnership between social work and nurse educators, carers of people with dementia & an older people's theatre project. This collaboration sought to build on cultural theories from the arts & humanities to provide a more political lens for change & reform in approaches to dementia care. Using storytelling techniques, a number of case studies were developed to inform arts based approaches such as drama & music to develop learning materials for professional & carer education. Digital images enacted by an older people's theatre group also drew on research evidence of good practice in communication with people with dementia & a number of digital stories were developed. The paper will present some of the findings from the evaluation of the project & will illustrate this by showing some of the 3-4 minute clips from materials developed to facilitate further participant discussion.
