Meanders

Meanders is a tool to build open conversational spaces in families dealing with dementia. By aiding participants in listening to each other, the collaborative board game allows them to communicate differently and from a place of vulnerability. It strikes a balance between fun and complex emotions, encouraging participants to reconnect and rethink their relationships through mutual care. Not exclusive to the context of dementia, nor meant as a therapeutic tool, Meanders looks to facilitate an engaging situation in which any participant can share what they wouldn’t typically want or know how to express. Juliette Vandermosten offers a resource for groups to deal with complex shifts together, where anyone can participate.
