The Erasmus+ project “Story2remember” is a consortium of six entities from five countries (Romania, Ireland, Bulgaria, Greece and United Kingdom). This project aims to increase the competency of professionals working in the field of dementia, and to support the communication skills of family carers of persons with dementia, through the use of creative drama and storytelling.
Two training cycles of the project were successfully implemented in the Alzheimer Hellas day care centre in November 2019, involving 20 health care professionals and 12 people with dementia.The “story2remember” workshops, based on creative drama, poetry and storytelling, aim to promote well-being, meaningful engagement and social inclusion for older adults with dementia.
The Educational Handbook “Story2remember” can be downloaded from the project’s website : https://story2remember.eu/ The next step of the programme is to develop a toolkit for caregivers of people with dementia in order to support their communication skills with their care recipients.
