Dementia Awareness Week at the Zoo and the Botanic Gardens

Guided tours and information session from 21 to 25 September

From Monday to Friday, 21 to 25 September, Chemnitz Zoo and the City of Chemnitz Botanical Garden are jointly organising a programme of events to mark National Dementia Week, under the theme ‘Experiencing Nature’. The programme includes dementia-friendly guided tours, a hands-on activity and an information session. The project is supported by DemenzNetz_C.

The Botanical Garden is offering scented garden tours on two days for people with dementia and their carers. On another tour, they can experience nature with all their senses. Chemnitz Zoo is also offering a dementia-friendly guided tour. In addition, activity stations for people with dementia will be set up one morning. Representatives from the fields of nursing, care and support for people with disabilities will present their services at an information evening.

Registration is required for most of the events. Details can be found in the attached leaflet.
