A Library of Living Care – Part of the Manchester ESRC Festival
Saturday 28 October, 11am-3pm
FREE, please book to attend via this Eventbrite link
Location: The Whitworth, Collections Care Centre
Care is universal. Whether it's the act of caring for a loved one, the feeling of receiving care or the care you show towards your possessions or environment, we all have our own stories of care. Our stories may be funny, creative, artful, touching, or nostalgic. They are our own, they are rich and beautiful.
Our Living Library gives you the chance to learn more about care by using your library card to rent time for a conversation with one of our six living books. Our ‘books’ are six people with diverse experiences of providing and receiving care. At our library, you will be able to rent time with up to two of our books, ask them questions, and learn more about their unique experiences.
Professor John Keady from The University of Manchester will also have a stall at the event to launch his new book, 'Reconsidering Neighbourhoods and Living with Dementia: spaces, places and people' published by McGraw-Hill/Open University Press. John and some of the contributing authors will be available to speak about their work and answer questions on the day.
