Through Equal Arts (Projects for Older People in the Newcastle area) i delivered training to the Learning Team across the Tyne and Wear Musuems which was held at the Laing Art Gallery, very central to them all.
Following on from a 'Meet Me at MOMA' model delivered by Kate Horbury from the Royal Academy in London, my training was based on how we can combine all of our senses into cross collaborative art forms to enhance the learning experience for individuals living with dementia in musuems and galleries across Tyne and Wear.
As a follow up to this i will be facilitating similar sessions 'live' with participants and training the various learning teams how to facilitate such a session. The Museums and galleries involved are the Laing Art Gallery, The Shipley, Stephenson and South Sheilds.
Keep posted for updates on how these progress along with additional photos and qualitative data!
