Thriving Together: Couplehood, Arts Participation & Dementia
April 19 - April 20
Free
Symposium to bring together academics, practitioners, as well as couples and individuals living with dementia who have a shared interest in how arts participation might be facilitated to better support couples living with dementia. The primary goal is to support a shift in research focus; from investigating the behaviours of individuals living with dementia outside of their everyday context, to supporting them in their interactions and relationships with significant others.
We aim for this symposium to be an opportunity to foster cross-disciplinary collaborations promoting relational perspectives on arts participation and dementia care, while also improving how research connects with communities and community partners. These developments are intended to benefit how couples living with dementia integrate the arts into their ways of communicating and connecting with one another in their daily lives.
The symposium consists of talks, a roundtable discussion and a workshop. Saturday will be particularly aimed towards the general public.
The symposium will take place virtually (on Google Meet) and in person at University of Sheffield
Friday: ICOSS Building, Department of Psychology – 219 Portobello, Broomhall, Sheffield S1 4DP
Saturday: Jessop Building, Department of Music – 34 Leavygreave Rd, Broomhall, Sheffield S3 7RD
