This is a product thesis. The aim of the thesis is to produce Path of Stories exhibition with Sanervakoti participants about so called stimulating activity using painting as creative method. Sanervakoti is an intense assisted accommodation for people with memory illnesses and it is operated by Helsinki Diaconess Institute. This thesis also gives information on how stimulating activity is operating at Sanervakoti and how it affects the residents. In order to deepen the understanding about stimulating activity, the effects and challenges at Sanervakoti, I also interviewed three staff members. The interviews and production of the exhibition were done at Community Empowerment and Participation placement period during five weeks in September and October 2015.
I observed and facilitated stimulating activity and the creation of paintings by the residents for Path of Stories (Tarinoiden Polku) project, which is part of a larger community project Tarinoiden Myllypuro. I conducted unstructured interviews for a social instructor, nurse and practical nurse in order to include the views from representatives of all professions. The exhibition took place at Community House Mylläri, Myllypuro, from 1st until 26th of February 2016. During the exhibition, viewers left comments of how he/she experienced the paintings.
