During our recent CI gathering, participants shared/discussed the following:

  • David Neumann, professor in the Faculty of Media and Creative Arts, updated us about the recent Hackathon and shared examples of the student presentations.
  • Emphasized the importance of exploring technology for community, advocacy, and caregiver support.
  • Discussed the significance of learning onboarding, off-boarding, privacy issues, and data ownership and security.
  • Explored long-term care challenges faced by both individuals and care providers.
  • Discussed the importance of training staff to empathize with the experiences of individuals living with dementia.

The next Community of Interest (CI) gathering is set for 12 to 1 p.m. on Thursday, May 16, 2024.

In this session, Alexander Shvarts (Professor of Social Sciences) will discuss an assignment his students recently completed that focused on the six ACER themes. Alex will share highlights of the students' work.

We extend an invitation to anyone eager to participate in this important dialogue. Whether you're a researcher, practitioner, student, or dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for older adults in our communities, your perspectives and experiences are greatly valued.
