Synopsis

For people living with dementia, life can become increasingly isolating. Yet, being engaged in regular activities that offer a sense of purpose and connection with the world is a key to their wellbeing.

The aim of the Unlock & Revive pilot project was to bring together an online programme for these communities to test whether and how we can use this technology to provide a sense of connection into the world around us through online cultural engagement activities.
