*Please note this session is exclusively for professionals and volunteers working with people with dementia and/or with unpaid carers of people with dementia in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area.

This online storytelling session will take place on Wednesday 18th August 2021 at 2pm. To book a place, use the green ‘Register’ button at the top.

Facilitated by the Village Storytelling Centre (VSC), the session will support you to share your thoughts and experiences of working with people with dementia and/or with unpaid carers in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area. We are using storytelling methods to make it easier for people to talk about dementia in a way that is comfortable for them. By using stories and characters, we can find new ways to tell our own stories.

The VSC uses storytelling as a tool to support groups and individuals to shape and share their own stories and create a platform for their voices to be heard.

The session will be recorded and the recording will only be used to ensure accuracy of the report produced later. Comments will be anonymised.

These discussions will inform our Community & Dementia: Creating Better Lives in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area online event on Tuesday 31st August 2021. We will capture your words and phrases – anonymously – to clearly illustrate the topics you identify as most important.

Professionals and volunteers can also attend our online 'Training the Trainer' applied storytelling session on Thursday 19th August 2021 at 2pm, where you will learn how to use the one-step removed storytelling approach as part of your work with people with dementia and/or unpaid carers of people with dementia.
