Description

Our half-day Dementia and Imagination Training is ideal for creative practitioners and artists and staff within cultural and community venues in contact with the public.

Offering an interactive and active learning approach, the training provides participants with an understanding of the imagination model in engaging with people living with dementia, and the confidence to create inclusive, dementia-friendly creative opportunities that are 'inspired by imagination'.
