Beyond Culture Box: using creative practice to support people living with dementia, staff, and family supporters

Beyond Culture Box将扩大和加强Culture Box（CB）流行病应对项目的影响。Culture Box利用互动创意资源，减轻大流行病对护理院痴呆症患者的一些负面影响，特别是社交孤立和孤独的比例。文化盒产生了广泛的委托和共同设计的创意资源，这些资源尚未得到充分利用，Beyond Culture Box将用于支持未参与原始研究的不同社区。Beyond Culture Box将通过使用项目发现和创建的材料来开发培训活动和展览，以改善痴呆症护理并吸引新的受众。这些将通过一系列参与性利益攸关方讲习班来制定。超越文化盒利益相关者研讨会将促进与一系列非学术利益相关者的知识交流，包括黑人和亚洲少数民族（BAME）社区团体，护理人员，艺术和遗产组织，有痴呆症生活经历的人及其支持者，以及创意从业者。为了最大限度地提高这些研讨会的成功率，该团队将与项目合作伙伴密切合作：Arts 4Dementia，艺术和文化埃克塞特，和比尔道格拉斯电影博物馆，以及我们的分包商文化和NAPA。研讨会将参与并由CB研究成果和资源指导，同时也向具有生活经验或其他专业知识的参与者学习，例如通过为那些患有痴呆症超越文化盒研讨会将提供两个关键产出：1。为护理人员和其他利益攸关方（如家庭支持者）举办培训课程。这将解决为护理人员，艺术家和家庭支持者提供艺术培训的需求，以建立他们的信心和技能，为老年痴呆症患者使用基于证据的创意材料。该课程将与巡回展览一起举行，由我们的分包商NAPA和Arts 4Dementia合作举办。将有2个事件的地点，每个展览将主办（埃克塞特和斯托克特伦特）与混合选项，以确保可访问性。超越文化盒团队将与国家适应行动方案和Arts 4Dementia密切合作，学习他们提供培训的专业知识，以确保提供的培训对广大受众具有相关性和实用性。2.多媒体展览“文化宝盒实况”。该展览将通过利益相关者研讨会设计的引人入胜的互动展示来展示CB项目的成果。展览将在英格兰不同地区的两个可访问和对比的场地进行巡回演出，以确保该项目能够吸引新的观众，地点是埃克塞特的积极光项目和特伦特河畔斯托克的米切尔艺术中心。我们将与合作伙伴比尔道格拉斯电影博物馆合作，包括他们的一些资源，包括他们与当地埃克塞特组织合作在“记忆盒”上的工作。除此之外，我们与艺术和文化埃克塞特和文化的合作将促进广泛和多样化的出席，包括那些来自BAME社区。 在项目合作者的支持下，《超越文化箱》将被记录在一份最终报告和实践文件中，并将被广泛传播。

Beyond Culture Box will extend and enhance the impact of the Culture Box (CB) pandemic-responsive project. Culture Box used interactive creative resources to alleviate some of the negative impacts of the pandemic on people living with dementia in care homes, particularly rates of social isolation and loneliness. Culture Box resulted in a wide array of commissioned and co-designed creative resources that have not been fully utilised and that Beyond Culture Box will use to support diverse communities who were not involved in the original study. Beyond Culture Box will achieve this by using the project findings and materials created to develop training activities and exhibitions that improve dementia care and reach new audiences. These will be developed via a series of participatory stakeholder workshops. The Beyond Culture Box stakeholder workshops will facilitate knowledge exchange with a range of non-academic stakeholders, including Black and Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) community groups, care staff, arts and heritage organisations, people with lived experience of dementia and their supporters, and creative practitioners. To maximise the success of these workshops, the team will work closely with project partners: Arts4Dementia, Arts and Culture Exeter, and The Bill Douglas Cinema Museum, and our subcontractors Culture& and NAPA.The workshops will be participative and guided by the CB research findings and resources, whilst also learning from participants with lived experience or other expertise e.g. via delivering training and supporting creative events for those with dementia. The Beyond Culture Box workshops will inform 2 key outputs:1. A training course for care staff and other stakeholders (e.g. family supporters). This will address the need for arts training provision for care staff, artists, and family supporters to build their confidence and skills in using evidence-based creative materials with older people with dementia. The course will take place alongside the touring exhibition, run by our sub-contractors NAPA and in partnership with Arts4Dementia. There will be 2 events in the locations where each exhibition will be hosted (Exeter and Stoke on Trent) with a hybrid option available to ensure accessibility. The Beyond Culture Box team will work closely with NAPA and Arts4Dementia to learn from their expertise in providing training to ensure that the offer is relevant and useful for a wide audience. 2. A multi-media exhibition: 'Culture Box Live'. The exhibition will showcase the outcomes of the CB project using engaging and interactive displays, devised in the stakeholder workshops. The exhibition will tour 2 accessible and contrasting venues in different parts of England to ensure the project reaches new audiences, the locations are Positive Light Projects in Exeter and Mitchell Arts Centre in Stoke-on-Trent. We will collaborate with partner The Bill Douglas Cinema Museum to include some of their resources, including their work on the "memory box" in collaboration with local Exeter organisations. Alongside this, our collaboration with Arts and Culture Exeter and Culture& will facilitate wide and diverse attendance, including those from BAME communities. Beyond Culture Box will be documented in a final report and practice paper that will be widely disseminated, supported by the project collaborators.
