How do people with dementia experience the world? How can those around them understand this perspective? How can these different realities be reconciled? These are just some of the fundamental questions that arise when living alongside people with dementia.

Staying in touch with one another, maintaining and rebuilding relationships, creating shared moments and striking the right note – these are some of the ways forward that will be explored in the lecture by Prof. Dr Margareta Halek, Head and Chair of the Department of Nursing Science.

Admission costs €7 (€5 concessions). Tickets are available at the box office.
