Conversation Station with Deepness: 8th May

Conversation Station with Deepness

Wednesday 8 May 12 - 1pm

Join us for our first Conversation Station spotlight next week “tuning into” community-led research. This will be featuring the work, reflections and learning so far of Deepness, based in the Western Isles, who are coordinating people-living-with-dementia-led peer research exploring the impact of participation in creative activities on experiences of agency, autonomy and mental wellbeing.

This is funded by the Ideas Fund and culminated in the first lived-experience led Dementia Arts Festival in Inverness in November 2023, co-developing a Dementia Arts Manifesto. You can find more about their project here, more about their festival here and their website here. 

The Conversation Station will include a short presentation by Deepness and their research partner Dr Kirsti Broadfoot. You are welcome to engage as you’d like, including bringing your lunch or a cup of coffee and listening in, before we open up to wider discussion with a chance to ask questions and connect with peers.

If you haven’t already received an invitation through our network, you can sign up for the event here.
