Co-Creation Support CLG is a not-for-profit, social enterprise.
It supports collaboration to produce mutually valued outcomes. The co-creation process involves bringing different parties together, for example service users and providers, to share ideas, solve problems and create better ways of doing things. Our approach engages the experiences, expertise and knowledge from all perspectives to come up with solutions to issues.
We are currently working on an Erasmus + funded project called Two Moons in collaboration with partners in Italy, Finland and Romania. See project website https://twomoons.eu/
Two Moons is about developing education resources on human rights to inform and raise awareness of human rights on their relevance to the day to day lives of older people.
The education resources developed include:
“Listening to My Stories” audios
Ingrid’s experience of abuse by her son. This audio was released on June 15 2020 to mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
Ruby is living with dementia and recounts the challenges she faces in having her rights met
Chiara lives with intimidation and anti-social behaviour
Elsa speaks of the challenges in providing homecare that enables older people live with dignity
Joan could not access services she needed after a stroke
Tom has an acquired disability and has not been accommodated to return to work so lives in poverty

The workshop will provide participants with the knowledge and skills to deliver the Two Moons Documentary Theatre and Talkback to their audiences. The training will take place over one full day and provide an overview on delivering the monologues, staging the play and facilitating the talkback.
