| Annotation | The EQUAL Project is part-funded by the European Commission (EC) under its Action on Alzheimer's programme, and reflects its intention to Enhance the Quality of life of older people with Alzheimer's disease (AD). To promote this aim, students and younger unemployed volunteers were among those trained and supported in reminiscence work with older people with dementia in France, Sweden and the UK. This article describes the project, an aim of which was to produce a template of best practice for training volunteers, so that similar projects could be developed in other cultures and other contexts. The Project demonstrates the importance of the action research methodology for developing participative social care delivery. (RH). |
