The Curiosity Case

…sparking reminiscence

the concept

Take a walk down Memory Lane…

Described by one of her customers as ‘our very own Mary Poppins’, creator Clare uses the contents of her packed Curiosity Case to present unique, fun and stimulating face-to-face reminiscence sessions and virtual visits.

‘Each time an individual tells part of his/her life story, those who listen are like a mirror, reflecting and affirming their lives’

‘Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us’

‘Music lights up emotional memories, everyone remembers songs from their past’

‘Memories are the treasures we keep locked deep within our souls, to keep our hearts warm when we are lonely’

the DETAIL

A series of themed reminiscence sessions led by creator Clare Greenwood, both in person and online. Clare uses her own fun style of presentation and draws on artefacts and anecdotes from the aptly named Curiosity Case to gently guide older adults in engaging interactive sessions.

With a different theme each month, The Curiosity Case is opened to reveal nostalgic items and stories designed to encourage conversation, laughter and memory sharing. Whilst themes primarily focus on British traditions and culture, Clare is always inclusive, encouraging participants and viewers to share their personal memories and experiences, celebrating the similarities and differences of heritage and upbringing.

The Curiosity Case was originally created for care home residents but the online version can also be used in day centres, community groups or even by families at home, giving them something engaging and enjoyable to share with loved ones. Relatives and Charitable Organisations please contact us directly to discuss your requirements as a discount may be applicable.

Everything Clare brings to everyone she interacts with is a simple way to start conversations and create moments of connection, suitable for the older generation at different stages of memory loss and dementia, as well as those who simply enjoy reminiscing about the past.
