| "Appreciating
Diversity" at a Shrewsbury residential home |
Number
of participants: 20
Ethnic backgrounds: White British
Age range: 60-96
|
| Inspired by Hannah Adjepong's poem "Wisdom
in a jar?" the Edgefield Green group produced a jar filled with
their own wisdom and insights, which they felt would be useful
for all backgrounds and ages. |
| The group shared their thoughts and
feelings about all aspects of life, covering work, leisure, relationships,
loss and spirituality. |
| The process of producing the art work
enabled the group to empathise with Hannah’s experience of moving
to Britain and adjusting to British values and culture. In addition
it strengthened their appreciation of their own individual and
group diversity. |
