Admission is free and those interested are asked to register via the vhs Bamberg-Land website. If you have any questions, participants can contact the organization team at 0951 85-651 or via email at praevention@lra-ba.bayern.de.

The social context

Miriam Stein’s reading couldn’t be more relevant. Discussing menopause is an important part of women's understanding and self-acceptance during this phase of life. In a society where the old clichés about getting older often still prevail, Stein provides a significant impulse. Her aim is to encourage women to deal with their experiences and to talk openly about their feelings and physicality.

It's no secret that discussing such personal topics is often characterized by shyness. Miriam Stein would like to help women feel less like they have to be pushed into a role of invisibility. Rather, they should be heard as valuable voices within society, in a dialogue about age, gender and social standards.

The organizers and the local commitment

The commitment of the health region plus Bamberg and the equality bodies underlines how important this topic is for the communities. These partners bring resources and commitment to support an event that goes far beyond a simple reading. It promotes exchange and understanding in an often overlooked and misunderstood phase of life.

Bamberg shows that there are not only great cultural events, but also space for education and community dialogue. It's time to talk about topics that often remain behind closed doors - and Miriam Stein is the right person to talk to.
