The public debate about the language around the dementias
This step provides insight into the language that is used around dementia on various public platforms, and how it is beginning to shift.
Watch to hear Kailey Nolan explain:
-
How there has been an increase in the public debate that exists on various social media platforms that address the language that is used around the topic of dementia
-
Various arts organisations are working to inform the debate by working directly with people living with dementia, and by engaging the public
-
How the media and the public are not mutually exclusive, requiring a cultural shift to alter the way in which people living with dementias are perceived
You will be encouraged to think carefully about the terminology that is used to reflect an extremely broad range of lived dementia experiences.
