Like Yesterday: Movement, Memory & Wellbeing
Like Yesterday: Movement, Memory, and Wellbeing is a practice-led research project that explores the intricate tapestry of memory, movement, and personal narrative. Its lead researchers (James Hewison and Dr Dorothy Tse) are both based at Edge Hill University, UK and the project’s participants will include members of the University of the Third Age (U3A), Aughton and Ormskirk, Lancs. The project draws on Hewison’s research profile and professional expertise in choreography and autobiographical performance, and Tse’s work in neuroscience, memory, and ageing.
Ageing Better with an Active Mind
Co-creation with the community to promote healthy ageing and behavioural change within communities.
Ageing better with an active mind is an exciting project focused on fundamental health issues confronting our society. This project was created to address the disconnection between national advice on healthy ageing and practice in Lancashire and Merseyside where the elderly population with dementia is higher than the national average.
