Reminiscence Arts for Dementia is a facilitated learning journey which prepares learners to conduct small-group interactive reminiscence arts sessions for persons living with dementia using objects, storytelling, and artwork materials.
This blended course aims to enable individuals to lead activities that incorporate reminiscence elements using arts and artefacts to create meaningful interaction with persons living with dementia. The objective of reminiscence is to improve mood, encourage communication and empower persons living with dementia to express themselves through a range of art mediums, providing various modes of stimulation and deepening levels of engagement.
Learners must complete self-paced e-learning modules before attending classroom training sessions to fully appreciate the learning activities in class.
