On 14 September Dianne Gove, Ana Diaz and Chris Roberts (Vice Chair of the European Working Group of People with Dementia - EWGPWD) took part in a session of the DISTINCT project “school”, on involving people with dementia in research, as advisors. Dianne and Ana presented the work of Alzheimer Europe and the EWGPWD in Public Involvement (PI) and some examples of how the EWGPWD has been involved in research related to technology.
The students attending took part in two short Mentimeter surveys to share their own experiences and perspectives related to working with people with dementia in this way. Chris then talked about his personal experience of taking part in PI. After the presentations, there was a very active Q&A session.
