The Box of our Memories project aimed to improve the availability of memory-based, digital and informal educational initiatives for seniors. This was achieved by expanding the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies of adult educators from informal caregivers and family members to volunteers and educational staff at museums and archives. Reminiscence therapy, involves the use of life stories – written, oral or both – to improve psychological well-being, especially for older adults with dementia. There is growing evidence of the effectiveness of non-pharmacological health interventions to alleviate the stressful effects of dementia, particularly the positive stimuli of interaction with music and digitization.
