SUMMARY:Ideas and Innovation Event on the Indoor & Outdoor theme
DESCRIPTION:The BRIDGES Network+ challenges the traditional focus on basic physical needs that result in technologies primarily used for safety\, surveillance and monitoring. Instead\, we aim to empower people with dementia to be in charge of what they want to do by co-designing technologies that support holistic health\, social connection\, and continued participation in communities. \nThis event is dedicated entirely to our first core theme: Indoor and outdoor spaces. Indoor and outdoor environments can be confusing to navigate and often present challenges such as poor natural light\, uneven surfaces\, changing light conditions\, and lack of seating. \nWho this event is for: \n\nPeople with lived experience of dementia\nResearchers with knowledge of science\, engineering\, design or technology related to indoor and outdoor spaces\nCompanies and service providers with relevant expertise\n\nRegister on the TicketTailor link below to learn more. \nThe agenda for the day is now available here.

SUMMARY:Dementia Design Lab | Day 1 in Manchester
DESCRIPTION:Join us to imagine technology that could make life with dementia better\nDay 1 | Drop-in sessions from 10:00-15:00\n\nWe’re inviting people living with dementia and the people who support them to a creative workshop in Manchester. \nDrop in to share what you enjoy\, what gets in the way\, and dream up ideas for new technology that could make everyday life richer. \nWe will play with ideas big and small from music to maps\, from robots to a proper chat with friends. Come and share what you love and help us picture what new technology for life with dementia could look like if it was designed around you. \nWhat happens on the day? Join us for one or more of our friendly sessions. Each session is about two hours long and looks at a different part of life. \n\n22nd June Getting around- homes\, streets\, shops and the places we go.\n22nd June Arts\, sport and things we love- music\, making\, moving\, and culture.\n23rd June Staying in touch- talking\, listening and connecting\, in person and online.\n23rd June Trusting technology- what makes tech useful\, trustworthy and affordable\n\nIn each session you’ll chat about what you enjoy\, what could be better\, and then we’ll imagine design ideas together. There will be no wrong answers\, and no tech skills needed. Some ideas might be gadgets or apps\, others might just be a clever twist on something everyday. \nWho it’s for: People with dementia and the people who support them. You don’t need any background in technology or design\, just a willingness to share your experience and try something creative. \nThe practical bits: The workshop is free to attend. There are two days in Manchester city centre\, easy to reach by train\, tram or bus. Food and refreshments are on us throughout.
