A year ago we started our GRAND (Graphic Novels and Dementia) intergenerational workshops, a @BoldScotland MC with the generous support of @captheatres. This video narrates the project and our creative shared process that gave life to 'My Wonky Brain' bold-scotland.org/a-bold-min…

Kudos to #Spain for joining #SouthAfrica's genocide case against Israel at the @CIJ_ICJ. I hope this marks the beginning of more Western countries taking similar actions. It’s not too late to stand on the right side of history.
Words of condemnation are meaningless without action. In fact, decades of mere words have allowed Israel to escalate its lawlessness towards the Palestinians into #genocide.

PRESS RELEASE: #Spain filed in the #ICJ Registry a declaration of intervention in the case concerning Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (#SouthAfrica v. #Israel) bit.ly/3VPq1E6

I will be presenting a short intro to this project at the Alzheimers Europe conference in Switzerland in the autumn.
@willygilder01 & @_geraldking relished the opportunity to share their stories with younger participants where #dementia was approached thru listening & curiosity rather than stigma. Download 'My Wonky Brain' to start your conversation bit.ly/4c02g2H @IrvineDawn

our #AGoodLifeWithDementia course was observed by @UoY_SBS - a course FOR ppl w dementia designed and developed locally BY ppl w dementia. #transferability #hope #recoverymodel
📢 Recent findings from the Good Life with Dementia evaluation, highlights how a course run by people with dementia, for people with dementia, can provide support, friendship and hope after a diagnosis.
Read more key messages 👇 york.ac.uk/business-society/…
ALT Older people sat around a table talking. Text reads: Good life with dementia. A key message from the findings shows that people with dementia value the safe space a peer-led course provides, to be able to share their experiences and support each other, together.

Megs was 14 years old when her dad was diagnosed with young onset Alzheimer's disease at the age of 55.
She has created a #podcast to break down stereotypes and raise awareness of young onset #dementia. 🎙️

University of Edinburgh students occupying key building to put pressure on the administration to divest from genocide (ICJ) in Palestine. The Uni should immediately stop investing in the largest shareholders in companies which produce weapons for the Israeli army (ie. Blackrock) – at Edinburgh, Scotland

A room full of noise and love in Dundee for the launch of Scottish Meeting Centres
Valeria Lembo V retweeted
‘Design your ideal Meeting Centre, what do you NEED, WANT & DREAM?’ @willygilder01 introduces this afternoon’s workshop.
‘It’s our dream that you don’t need a formal #dementia diagnosis to go to a Meeting Centre. Diagnosis can take years, that’s when people need support most’
Valeria Lembo V retweeted
‘You look around Scotland and you see a lot of Meeting Centres in smaller, rural communities but in the big cities, like Edinburgh, you have relatively few’ - @willygilder01
‘At @theericliddell we are transitioning to the model’ - @LemboRes
Speaking at the @ScottishMCN launch
