Surface Echoes – a creative project to amplify the voices of people living with eczema
Surface Echoes is a resource that was developed over three years with input from creative professionals, arts and health researchers, working in partnership with individuals affected by eczema. It brings to life the everyday challenges and emotional impact of eczema and has resulted in resources that aim to create empathy, spark conversation, and deepen understanding of the realities of living with eczema.
There are two versions of the resource created, each from verbatim quotes of people affected by eczema. Follow the link below to both the print and audio version.
A4 Printable PDF script – here
This can be used :
by anyone wishing to learn more about what it’s like to live with eczema
as a training resource for healthcare professionals
as a printable resource to share with other people when it’s difficult to explain about eczema
The PDF is an A4 printable script to be read together in a group, with a friend, or alone, but we think it is most powerful when read out loud together in a group of 3-10 people, as a collective experience of reading and listening to other people’s voices.
Audio version – Download here
Available to listen to online, duration 23 minutes.
We welcome anyone with a professional or personal interest in or experience of eczema to listen to this reading of the script.
