Understanding Dementia: An Interactive Exhibition Creates New Perspectives
What does everyday life with dementia feel like? The dementia simulator at the Mainkofen District Clinic invites visitors to experience typical situations from an unfamiliar perspective. The exhibition combines expert information with an immediate event experience and is particularly aimed at caregivers, trainees, professional caregivers, and volunteers.
Experience 14 Everyday Situations Yourself
The dementia simulator guides visitors through 14 everyday situations. Perception, orientation, and emotional burdens are made tangible through experiential learning. Visitors try out the stations themselves and explore the offerings at their own pace. Guided tours are not provided.
Practical Offer for Relatives and Professionals
People with dementia often perceive their surroundings differently and react to situations that are difficult for outsiders to classify. The exhibition supports a respectful approach to target groups in care, support, and family work. It is suitable for anyone who wants to better understand dementia and reflect on their communication in private, professional, or voluntary environments.
Event at Mainkofen District Clinic
The event takes place in the foyer of Building C4/C5 at Mainkofen District Clinic. The calm indoor atmosphere provides a suitable framework for an intensive engagement with the topic. Visiting is possible without prior registration and is free of charge.
