About Living Words:
Since 2007, Living Words has pioneered an arts and literature programme working in equitable partnerships with people impacted by dementias and mental ill health. Through this process, which began with people living with dementia, we evolved an ethically and methodologically sound process, Listen Out Loud, to co-create individual books of words about their lived experience. Informed by this intimate participatory work, with participant involvement, and within an ethical framework, we create anthologies, films, performance, songs and events to enable these voices to be heard in the world, and to challenge associated societal stigma and promote inclusion.
