Auf die Plätze, fertig, los: Zehn kreative Themennachmittage für die Seniorenarbeit

Why do older people actually join senior groups? One answer that Susanne Fetzer hears time and again is: for the community. To experience oneself as part of a group. To feel connected with one another. To be present and participate – it’s all about encounters and involvement. In this book, staff will find a wealth of well-developed ideas that make this possible: interactive games, stories that inspire storytelling, and conversation starters for group discussions. With many colorful tips for creative design and encouraging prompts. The topics are drawn from real life, relatable yet always surprisingly profound. This allows older adults to engage and contribute their knowledge and experiences. Among other topics: an invitation to a blooming afternoon, visiting the Kings, letter writing then and now, stories about craftsmanship, Christmas stars and other lights, Oh, what a surprise! An exciting topic, not just at Easter.
