Arts Council funded 2 day Workshop  for Dementia carers at the Beamish Museum, Durham.

Challenging the prejudices that often see  Dementia as a deficiency and lack we spent the 2 days exploring and understanding that we are not only our memory, but so much more that makes us who we are.

Using Visual Thinking Strategies : a slow looking open platform that encourages dialogue, and sound exploration exercises. Creatively exploring:

The Essence of Being Human.

With kind support from Health and Wellbeing at Beamish and Nicola Kendal at Namaste.
