Hosted by the Still Reading project and funded by AHRC Impact Acceleration Award
About this Event

This event aims to bring together academics, practitioners, library, charity and health and social care staff, as well as those living with dementia, to promote shared reading as a meaningful activity for this group.


The event is the culmination of the Still Reading project, which partnered with libraries and dementia charities north and south of the border, producing a co-designed resource pack for those who want to implement the activity. Discussions will benefit from a wide range of professional and personal experiences in the room, as well as international perspectives.


Based on our research, we will share the evidence-base for shared reading as an arts-based intervention and discuss the pathways for organisations and policymakers to implement it in our communities.


Refreshment and lunch will be provided - please let us know of any dietary requirements.


Spaces are limited, please let us know if you cannot make it.
