Dementia: Making a difference in your community.
A national, online learning event hosted by Age Scotland’s dementia training team, exploring what we can all do to create, empower and effect change.
Monday 13th September 9. 30 – 4pm*
*Participants can attend for all or part of the day. Programme to be shared with participants shortly, along with details of workshops.
Building communities in which people living with dementia and their carers are happy, active and included is a goal shared by many organisations in Scotland today. Making this goal a reality requires a huge variety of different approaches and there is a wealth of innovative learning and creative initiatives taking place. As we begin to rebuild connections and remove barriers for people living with dementia after the pandemic, the Age Scotland dementia training team will bring together people and organisations focused on this aim from across the country in our first national day of learning and sharing.
We will shine a light on four exciting areas of development in this journey towards creating the inclusive communities we all want to see:
• Intergenerational approaches to dementia inclusion
• Empowering carers
• Taking the lead from people living with dementia
• Enabling outdoor activity and spaces
With a packed programme of speakers and interactive workshops exploring different contributions and approaches to these topics, this free, online event will provide a valuable forum for learning and exchange for anyone seeking to play a part in building the dementia inclusive Scotland we all want to see.
