Stroud Symposia Series

The Stroud Symposia Series is a collaborative effort between ADI, the Stroud Center for Study of Quality of Life, and the Institute of Psychiatry, which is collecting narratives about the experiences of people with dementia and their carers. These narratives give insights into improving the Quality of Life of persons with dementia and their carers.

There have been a series of workshops held at the ADI conference each year since 2000, and there is now an interactive website to allow people from around the world to participate online. Previous themes for the live workshops have included 'choice', 'the carer/person with dementia relationship' and 'what improves/reduces quality of life'. The theme for the 2005 workshop at the ADI conference in Istanbul is 'spirituality'.

You can participate in this project online - read the narratives and submit your own at the Stroud Symposia Series website.
