Understanding Dementia, Experiencing Empathy: The Dementia Course in Jena
The Dementia Course at the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena makes everyday life with dementia impressively tangible. On 23.09.2026 at 15:00, the interactive event format guides through 13 stations and provides an intense approach to a condition that affects many families directly.
An Event Experience with Depth
This is not about distance but about perspective shifts. Those who walk through the course feel the small hurdles of everyday life, experience uncertainty, limitations, and moments of inability. Understanding grows precisely from this. The event combines knowledge transfer with immediate experience and enhances sensitivity towards people with dementia.
13 Lasting Stations
The Dementia Course by Hands-on Dementia places typical everyday situations at the center. Personal experimentation is explicitly encouraged. This creates an unusually close, personal experience that not only informs but also emotionally touches. This form of educational work appeals to visitors interested in social issues, health education, and inclusive cultural offerings.
A Suitable Place for a Sensitive Topic
The Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena provides the right setting for this format: centrally located, barrier-free, and established as a vibrant place of education in the city center. The Helene-Petrenz Hall creates a quiet atmosphere for focused experience, exchange, and questions. Especially in this environment, the Dementia Course unfolds its special effect.
What Visitors Can Expect
The Dementia Course in Jena is an urgent encounter with an important topic of our time. Those who engage in this event take home new impressions, more understanding, and often a changed view of the daily lives of people with dementia. A visit is worthwhile for everyone who wants to experience education, empathy, and social relevance in one format.
