Erasmus+ project Strategic Partnerships for Adult\nEducation financed by European Commission through A.N.P.C.D.E.F.P.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of\nusing art in enhancing quality of life and well-being are countless, especially\nfor people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, for whom the use of artistic\ntechniques decreases the  degree of\nstress related to the symptoms associated with the disease, related to memory,\nspeech, behavior. Also, the use of these tools helps people suffering from this\ndisease to preserve their personal identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason the\nStory2Remember Project – The Use of Drama and Storytelling in Caring for\nPatients with Dementia was created<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project will\nbe implemented in 4 European countries: Romania, Greece, Bulgaria and the United\nKingdom, with the help of the strategic partnership of the following\norganizations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asociatia Habilitas\n– Centrul de Resurse si Formare Profesionala;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Societatea Romana Alzheimer;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gaiety School\nof Acting;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National\nTheater School of Ireland;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grajdansko\nassociation Alzheimer Bulgaria;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Greek Association of Alzheimer Disease and Related\nDisorders (Alzheimer Hellas)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bournemouth\nUniversity, UK;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will\nlast for 2 years – 01.10.2018 – 30.09.2020 and its key action will be\ncooperation for innovation and exchange of best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the goals of\nthe project is to create a set of tools aimed to develop communication between\ninformal carers who are represented by family members and people suffering from\nAlzheimer’s disease. The means used will be role-playing and storytelling.\nAnother goal of this project is to create a public policy document that will encourage\n organizations and communities to become  dementia-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of creative\ndrama can be applied to every person as it translates into the needs of each\nindividual. Stimulating memory, giving the sense of empowerment and well-being,\nincreasing self-esteem, are just some of the benefits of using this technique.\nThey help the person suffering from the disease to acquire more appropriate\nbehavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theatrical and\nstorytelling techniques not only help the person with dementia but also help\ntheir carers, informal and formal caregivers, providing them with a safe and\nentertaining environment in which they can communicate. By supporting these\nframeworks, organizations and communities that are dementia-friendly can also\nbe developed by connectingand encouraging discussions among people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storytelling has four\nmain benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 It gives people\nwho may otherwise have limited abilities a chance to communicate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 It helps promote\na positive social environment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 It lets\ncaregivers interact playfully and enjoyably with the person with dementia<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 It can include gestures,\nsounds and facial expressions into the story in whatever way the senior can<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project target\ngroup is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Health and social\ncare professionals working in the field of dementia, day care or residential\ncare (social workers, psychologists, trainers, doctors, carers)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Family carers of\npersons with dementia<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 People diagnosed\nwith dementia<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main results of\nthis project are the educational program and methodology that will be developed\nby the partnership:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
