Zenwing have been awarded a grant by Puppet Animation Scotland to create a Puppetry Toolkit for working with people with dementia.
We look forward to connecting with people, and using objects that are of interest to participants. One of our aims is to be with people within a creative animation process that is easily accessible.
Our first step is shadowing Hearts & Minds practitioners who already work with people with dementia in creative, humorous and carefully considered ways. We are also visiting the Dementia Services Development Centre, University of Stirling.
