Week titled "Lila Sofa" focuses on advocating for individuals and research related to dementia
The city of Meerbusch is preparing for an impactful week focused on raising awareness about dementia. From September 23rd to 26th, the Social Affairs department of the Meerbusch city administration is organizing the Action Week on Dementia at the city library located at Dr. Franz-Schütz-Platz.
The highlight of the week, known as the 'Lila Sofa,' is a platform for experts, those affected by dementia, and their relatives to share experiences and ideas. The 'Lila Sofa' will serve as the central hub of the action week, providing a supportive and informative space for all.
On Tuesday, the action week will commence with a series of engaging events. Author Lotti Beitz will read from her book 'I Want a Pomegranate,' a poignant exploration of the daily madness and other effects of dementia. Following this, dance enthusiasts are invited to move to the rhythm at TSV Meerbusch at 3 pm and Tanzhaus NRW at 5 pm.
In addition to these events, Tuesday will also see the launch of the 'Market of Possibilities' - an array of information stands from various actors and counseling services. This market aims to provide valuable resources and support for those navigating the challenges of dementia.
Experts will be available throughout the week, with specific hours set aside for consultations on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The action week will conclude on Friday, September 26th, with the conclusion event taking place at 6 pm.
Registration for the events is required due to limited seating. Interested individuals can register by contacting 02159/916 556. It's important to note that this event is not an advertisement, but a genuine effort to foster understanding and support for those affected by dementia.
