World Café Session
Output 2 16 May 2019
This report is based on our experiences of using a collaborative approach to identifying best practices for those involved in professional, vocational and community-based education and learning, in order to facilitate improved support for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) older people in health and social care
The best practices discussed here on learning and teaching, emerged from cross national collaboration and intercultural dialogue with a variety of stakeholders, including older LGBT people, educators, practitioners and learners using the World Café method.
Best Practice Principles - ReportActivity 1 July 2018
A World Café Session was organized with educators, students and LGBT older people. Aim of the session was to define what inclusive care means for LGBT older people. The participants discussed the role of educators in care and wellbeing and how they can prepare students as our future care professional towards more inclusive care.
The session started by focusing on the stories of LGBT older people and their experiences. These were played back through song, music and theatre by 'Theater boven Water'. Their stories highlighted the importance of our project and supported a sense of urgency among the participants. After this the participants started to work in groups on different topics. Results of the session will feed into our learning resources.
