Wake up memories: Colorful afternoon for seniors in Ingolstadt

Wake up memories: Colorful afternoon for seniors in Ingolstadt

In Ingolstadt, this time it is about "childhood" - a topic that arouses many emotions. As part of the monthly colorful afternoons for the 60 plus generation in the Neuburger Kasten community center, everything revolves around "Biography work - childhood is awake in old age". This event will take place on Wednesday, May 25th, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Cafeteria of the Neuburger Kaststen. The round is headed by the graduate social worker Silke Felsmann from the Ingolstadt Caritas district office. Regular participants appreciate the atmosphere and the opportunity to get into conversation while they reminiscent and exchange life stories.

The event costs four euros for a piece of cake and up to two cups of coffee or tea. Registration is required so that a reasonable number of places is available. If you would like to be there, register directly in the community center.

a place for all generations

The Neuburger Kasten community center is not only a starting point for seniors. As a part of social life in Ingolstadt, it also has another important function: the search for volunteers for a tutoring project. Here, children who have become school -based can receive support. The tutoring is aimed at primary school children in grades 1 to 4 and takes place once a week to close existing gaps and deepen the school material. With the help of educational games and training offers such as "learning lions", the initiators want to make learning more attractive.

The program depends on volunteers who have patience and experience in dealing with children. The operations take place on Fridays from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the community center, whereby the division can be flexibly designed. Interested parties who want to take on this sensible task can report by email or by phone. If you take a closer look, it is not just a long -awaited smile that hope to leave these children back, but also a valuable learning experience for the entire community.

memories as a treasure

Back to biography work: This has the clear goal of promoting the well -being of the seniors by illuminating the past and present equally. In an online training called "With biography work on a treasure hunt-the trail in my heart", caregivers and interested people learn various methods and techniques to discover life stories and create emotional access. This concept has the potential to form deeper relationships with seniors and to preserve their stories as valuable treasures. Such memory work and the connections created are particularly important for people with dementia. Experiences and solutions from practice can help integrate biography work into everyday care.

The initiative for biography work impressively shows how valuable memories for life in old age are and that it is never too late to tell and share your own history. Both the event in the Neuburger Kasten and the tutoring project show that in Ingolstadt there is a big heart for all generations.

So it is to be hoped that many people can benefit from these offers and meet in a community where everyone is there for the other.
