A recent project used an Ipad drawing app to show one way of engaging people with dementia in a creative activity. This project is designed by the East Dunbartonshire Initiative for Creative Therapy & Social Care (EDICT) with support from DSDC, and is based on a digital art activity with residents in care homes and pupils from Kirkintilloch High School using tablet computers. The project aims to provide an animated record of the individuals’ work which may be used to develop understanding and awareness of dementia in the wider community and reduce stigma. The work will be used to promote intergenerational understanding of dementia and the issues that people face.
