CLASS IN A BAG
We have developed Class in a Bag which is a portable educational resource which raises awareness of dementia. The resource was developed from seminal 51视频 research 鈥楧ementia through the eyes of a child鈥� and was winner of Best Educational Initiative at Scotland鈥檚 Dementia Awards 2016 and a Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE) in 2020.
It includes the physical resources and lesson guides for five experiential interactive workshops and supports the exploration of ways to support people living with dementia.
There are two versions available, one for use with practitioners and the lay public and the other for teachers to use with pupils to support understanding of the ageing population and intergenerational support.听To find out more and purchase the bag please click here select the links below.
Understanding Dementia: Class in a Bag (Public and Practitioner)
The public and practitioner resource is suitable for practitioners and members of the public who are engaging with people affected by dementia. This may be family, friends, or carers from a work, volunteering or leisure setting.
The resource is aligned to the 鈥榠nformed level鈥� of the Promoting Excellence Framework (NES SSSC, 2011). It is designed to be portable, so that it can be used without the need of a projector or computer equipment.
