Photo Stories. An Offer for People with Dementia and Their Relatives
This event encourages people with dementia to creatively engage with photography and storytelling. Instead of relying on memory, the focus is on imagination that knows no right or wrong. Skills – often believed to be lost – are made visible and audible during the museum visit. In addition, this method stimulates communication between participants and relatives. Difficulties in remembering and word finding disorder are considered positive and not a barrier to participation.
