Arts Uplift have created an interactive introduction to dementia awareness workshop based on its successful Navigating Margaret play. Using excerpts from the show on video, play and discussion the workshops are a practical introduction to dementia, dementia care and prevention. Low pressure interactive play opportunities and practical explorations build an actionable and experiential understanding of dementia.
The workshop is facilitated by two of the actors in the show and a dementia specialist. The dementia awareness workshops are suitable for older people, professional care staff, NHS workers, health students, volunteers, carers and family members, people with early to mid stage dementia, public facing employees and anyone generally interested in dementia.
