Abstract

The article informs about the international project „Remembering together“. Its goal was to teach the families caring for a person with dementia how to use reminiscence triggers and creativitive methds in care.

Three phases of meetings were described: first family carers met separately, later they brought their near ones with dementia and finally creative artists were invited. Final evaluation showed, even in international comparison, to the considerable impact of this psychosocial intervention both on people with dementia and their family carers.
