Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Reminiscence sessions and associated activities are designed to bring pleasure, stimulation, meaning and purpose into the lives of older people in care. This manual describes the kind of activities that can be carried out, as well as the principles behind reminiscence work. There are ideas for activities, themes and resources using photographs, slides, videos, cultural trips and involving the local school. There are also more elaborate ideas, such as putting on a reminiscence exhibition, writing a book, making a radio play and arranging theatrical performances. Themes include: childhood; home life; food and recipes; transport; holidays; work; cinema; entertainers; weddings; fashion and style; sport; royalty; and now and then.
