Conversations to Remember
Funded by The City Bridge Trust and Comic Relief, this two year video project began in October 2005. It has been developed in collaboration with the Oxford Befriending Network, the Policy Research Institute for Ageing and Ethnicity, St. Christopher's Hospice and Help the Hospices. |
Conversations to Remember is an intimate portrayal of how people deal with end-of-life issues. People with life-threatening conditions and carers talk freely about what is important to them, ways of coping and in their words “living with dying”.
Conversations to Remember gives a voice to those people who are rarely heard and is based on a series of open-ended video interviews with eleven participants, involving a wide range of respondents in terms of age, gender, terminal illness, ethnic background and location.
Conversations to Remember is designed to stimulate discussion, to communicate what people dealing with end-of-life issues really think and want and to help health professionals and policy makers develop appropriate services and responses.
DVD now available – duration 44 minutes.

Talk About Change
Funded by BBC Children in Need, Talk About Change is an innovative two year film project with young people with life-limiting conditions. The film explores the transition from childhood to adulthood and is based on in-depth interviews with eight young people with life-limiting conditions and their families. It features their own video diaries and gives real insight into their lives. |
|
The young people talk about the journey from childhood, through the teenage years into adulthood, independence, relationships, sexuality, leaving home, their hopes and fears.
Launched in March 2008 in conjunction with the government’s new strategy for children’s palliative care, Better care – Better Lives, the DVD Talk About Change comes with written guidelines for parents, young people and professionals and is an essential resource for young people, carers, families and everyone involved in palliative care.
The project was developed in collaboration with ACT - The Association for Children’s Palliative Care and with different hospices and organisations concerned with children with life-limiting conditions. The project took place between April 2006 and March 2008.
DVD now available – duration 35 minutes.
