Dementia Course at the Ernst-Abbe-Library: Re-understanding Everyday Life with Dementia
The dementia course at the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena invites you on September 25, 2026, to an impressive event experience. In the EAB City Center in the Helene-Petrenz Hall, visitors will experience at 13 stations how everyday tasks can feel with dementia. The course is part of the Week of Dementia and consciously focuses on changing perspectives, empathy, and direct experience.
A course that moves and resonates
Entering the dementia course immerses you in a special event atmosphere: factual, calm, and yet intense. Typical everyday situations become tangible, boundaries become experiential, uncertainty takes on a face. This is the strength of this format: it combines knowledge transfer with emotional experience and makes the challenges faced by people with dementia tangible.
Hands-on Dementia: Learning through Experience
The concept of Hands-on Dementia guides you through an otherwise ordinary day that suddenly becomes unusually heavy. This interactive approach not only creates understanding but also sharpens the perception of communication, patience, and good support in everyday life. For relatives, interested individuals, caregivers, and anyone dealing with dementia, valuable insights into the life reality of those affected arise.
13 Stations, Many Aha-Moments
At the individual stations, concentration, orientation, and processes are the focus. Visitors will try out, feel, and experience how challenging seemingly simple tasks can become. This form of event planning makes the course so special: not didactic, but experiential; not abstract, but concrete.
In the Heart of Jena, Close to People
The Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena is an ideal cultural location for this sensitive topic. Its location at Engelplatz ensures short distances, and the barrier-free orientation further facilitates the visit. Thus, the event becomes an open format for a broad target audience, sensibly connecting knowledge, encounter, and social attention.
Conclusion: The dementia course in Jena offers more than information. It creates understanding, touches, and stays in memory. Anyone who wants to not just explain but experience dementia should attend this appointment live on-site.
