The European Reminiscence Network

The European Reminiscence Network aims to promote best practice in reminiscence work and to share experience across national frontiers.

Co-ordinated by Pam Schweitzer since its inception in 1993, the Network now has partners in 20 countries and many associates in USA, Canada, India, Latin America, Australia and the Far East.

The partners work together to develop international projects, focusing on particular areas of reminiscence work and drawing in new and existing partners as co-operators with relevant interests and skills.

All these projects are documented and externally evaluated, and some have resulted in widely used publications.

As well as reminiscence practitioners, many older people living in different partner countries participate in the projects, through performance, workshops, discussion and exchange visits.

Our work is funded on a project-by project basis through the European Commission and through central and local government bodies in the partner countries. Other funds have come from research bodies and charitable trusts.
