Project DIMPLES Inter-professional Partnerships in Wellbeing Services October 2009 – September 2012
Helena Malmivirta, Doctor of Education
Project manager, City of Salo
Objective:
To strengthen third sector culture and art organisations’ capacities to develop and
deliver wellbeing services
Starting point:
To meet the needs of local authorities with art and culture based services and
service models
In Cooperation with:
Five Finnish cities: Salo, Turku, Kouvola, Forssa and Hankasalmi
Ten local and regional art and culture associations
A Pilot Project in the National ESF Programme:
The Third Sector Art & Culture, Youth and Sport Organisations Providing Wellbeing
Services 2007 - 2013
The project objectives have taken shape
in four service models
- Emerging from the methods of art and culture
- To be applied by the arts and culture sector
- To complement the service supply of public authorities
(municipalities)
PROJECT DIMPLES
1. The Wellbeing Chain Reaction
2. The Adventure Suitcase
3. Artist – Occupational Therapist Creative Partnerships
4. Cultural Services Next-Door
PROJECT DIMPLES
The Wellbeing Chain Reaction
From the perspective of narrative research
• Long-term companionships between professional artists and public care
institutions for the elderly
• To enhance wellbeing with methods based on arts and culture
• Professional artists of third sector art organisations
The project has enabled development in the field of applied arts
Equal partnerships between social and health care professionals and
professional artists
What is art?
What is culture?
C. Monet Waterlilies
Interiööri/Hailuoto/HM
Defining the concepts
of art and culture
How is the human being and is there art?
Human as a whole and realising her/himself in action
The Doors Are Open
for Arts
”Retirement home is old people’s
home; art must come to them.
We have paused by the art work
together with the elderly and the
personnel to wonder and feel the art
– enjoying the experience generated
by arts”.
Director of an old people’s home
The start for a partnership
Change and Opportunity
• In the course of the project care institutions have changed
… into an agora of personal and collective narratives of daily life
… processed and communicated through the methods of arts
From the Work-of-art Dominant Approach
to a Dialogic Process
”In a process, there is always a new thing, which cannot be foreseen
– a leap into the unfamiliar. One always finds something new about
people and about art making.” An artist involved in the project DIMPLES
Art takes place in a dialogic process between the elderly person
and the artist (Dewey 1934/1980)
Dialogic encountering in art is a space,
which releases meaningful ideas and emotions emerging from one’s
experiences – and folds them into interaction with visual, kinesthetic and
musical associations
Meaningful interaction takes time; it cannot be rushed.
Sensitivity and courage to approach an old person
– listening and observing without the medical status
An Invitation to Creative Interaction
Every encountering is a unique experience of the perceiving subject.
The right way to feel, interpret or react cannot be determined from the outside.
Movement and energy in dance
Rhythm and harmony in music
Settings and action in theatre
Form, colour, and texture in visual art
These qualities bring forward
relationships - consonance and
dissonance - conflicts and their
solutions
Art directs our attention to such
contents and qualities that bring out
the faces of our reality in an intensive
way and lifted from their original
context:
Life Narrated to Art With the means of art one’s lifetime
experiences intertwine into a meaningful
life story – a narrative
The means:
• Photography
• Film art
• Fine art
• Literal art
• Performing arts
• Dance
To be heard with the means of art
Hidden stories to light
”Hands feel like my own. I can clap with them.
In the old days I used to milk cows and bake
buns.
Hands were needed there. To know how to do
it.
Skillful hands.
Have knitted a ruffle with a thread.
Don’t think anything is going to come out of it.
Skillful hands.
It is lovely to touch the boy.
To pat the tummy.
Soft and good, a child’s tummy.
Nice needles in my hand.
The steam of a sauna feels better.
Balmy and warm.
Now I would like to touch a dog. Very fluffy”.
Life story in the form of an Ear Poem
“An old person is a conscious Being
until the end.
Bring every human’s extraordinariness
to light.”
A visual artist involved in the project
DIMPLES
Hidden resources to be
discovered
”I really love classical music –
and how did the conductor move?”
”I can’t dance!
If I had died yesterday,
I would not have learned that
something like this exists.”
The Challenge of
Finding a Shared
Language
For art and health and social care to
meet each other, a shared language is
needed between the professional
artists and the care personnel
A three-step cooperation and
training process as the frame of
reference for experiential art
learning
Achievements of the Wellbeing Chain Reaction
• Changes in alertness
• Recovery of speech
• Strengthening of involvement, interaction and communality
• Reinforcement of the sense of being important
• Decrease in the need for care
• Art structuring the profound experiences of life
– strengthening one’s identity and integrity
From the Perspective of the Elderly
• Professional growth
• Change and extension of the concept of art
• Development of the sociocultural work
• Strengthening of capacity in art pedagogy
- Art pedagogy has been taken to areas where it has not been before
- Breaking down barriers
From the Perspective of the Artist
- Increase in wellbeing in the workplace subsequent to the rising
alertness of the elderly
- Broadening of understanding of the concepts of art and culture
- Understanding of the importance of partnerships
- Strengthening of positive attitudes toward arts and culture as part
of the care of old people with dementia
- Positive feedback from families
From the Perspective of the Nursing Staff
Art as a Dialogic Process – Psychological
Language
Art has reached to the mental and emotional layers of a
human being, long forgotten, and brought to light something
meaningful to oneself
Hidden narratives have been uncovered. Examining the
past has had a positive psychological, emotional and
cognitive effect on one’s sense of integrity.
There is a possibility for identity building across the entire
life time
There is a possibility for continuous learning
