Dementia Course in Jena: An Experience that Fosters Understanding

The Dementia Course at the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena invites you on September 23, 2026, at 3:00 PM to an impressive encounter with the everyday life of people with dementia. The interactive course leads through 13 stations and makes typical challenges in daily life immediately tangible.

A Walk that Touches and Resonates

Trying things out for oneself is at the center: Those who go through the stations directly feel discomfort, boundaries, and uncertainty. This is precisely where the strength of this event experience lies. The Dementia Course promotes empathy, raises awareness of the perspective of those affected, and highlights the importance of patience, understanding, and good communication in dealing with dementia.

13 Stations Full of Everyday Life, Obstacles, and Aha Moments

The course by Hands-on Dementia conveys not theoretically, but through experience. Everyday situations such as orientation, hand movements, or coping with small tasks become an intense form of encounter. This creates an audience atmosphere in a calm, focused manner and appeals to visitors interested in care, health, education, and social interaction.

An Appropriate Place for Exchange and Education

With the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena, the Dementia Course is anchored at a central, barrier-free location in the city center. The EAB stands for cultural and education-oriented events that make knowledge accessible and bring socially relevant topics into the public eye. The Helene-Petrenz Hall provides a quiet setting with a clear focus on the experience.

Conclusion: An Appointment with Impact

The Dementia Course is more than an exhibition: it is an invitation to better understand dementia and to view those affected with more empathy. Anyone looking for a thoughtful, educational, and at the same time moving event in Jena should not miss this appointment.
