Following on from the launch of our CIHT Learn course Designing highways and transportation for people with dementia, the lead author, Andy Hyde, will hosting a drop-in Ask Me Anything call on 25 September 1:00pm to discuss any aspects of the course and its development.
If you're considering taking the course, working through it or even completed it, take this opportunity to ask questions and discuss participative design in an informal setting.
Andy will be joined by Professor Charles Musselwhite and Dr Steve Cassidy who helped develop the course.
The CIHT’s course ‘Designing highways and transportation for people with dementia’ offers a new approach, hearing directly from people with dementia, considering experiences throughout journeys and exploring real actions that we can all take to involve and learn from people.
In this session you’ll hear from Andy Hyde who created the course content along with other contributors and experts in participative design. This is a real opportunity to discuss any aspects of the course and its development with them. This will be an informal event and should help you learn more about participative design and how this can help you try and solve problems in an effective way by involving people with dementia.
There’s a significant overlap between social inclusion and our physical and mental health wellbeing, so providing equitable opportunities to travel plays an important role in our health and wellbeing. Ensuring equitable opportunities for everyone to travel is therefore essential.
We know that remaining active and connected, continuing to travel independently, plays a significant role in living well with dementia. We also know that the number of people being diagnosed is set to increase in the coming years. And while improving our knowledge about dementia is a positive step, the design and operation of our services and environments can only support people effectively through an appreciation of the impact that dementia can have on peoples’ lives and their travel experiences.
This webinar is open to both CIHT Members, CIHT Partner Employees and non-members. It will be of particular interest to those wanting to learn about how to make transport more inclusive and how to meaningfully deliver effective participation.
This webinar is free for all CIHT Members to attend and is charged for CIHT Partner Employees and non-members.
Andy has over two decades of experience in supporting public bodies to work with communities, tackle inequalities and design better services together. He aims to join unexpected dots, convene decision-makers, service providers and marginalised communities and create methods and spaces for them to imagine alternative, more inclusive futures together. He launched Go Upstream in 2018 to find new ways to support service providers to discover and value the expertise of those who are disabled and disadvantaged by our mobility systems.
