Recognising herbs by scent and taste
Witch’s Brew
Familiar scents and flavours can bring back memories and emotions. Put your senses to the test and see how many herbs you can recognise!
“A single familiar scent can awaken a hundred forgotten memories.”
Memory game
House from Nemesradnót
Give your brain a playful workout! Memory games offer a simple and enjoyable way to exercise memory and concentration.
“A playful mental workout is a simple yet effective way to help keep the mind active.”
Rediscovering memories through old photographs
Nemesradnót farmstead and Imola stable
Old photographs can evoke stories, emotions and personal memories while providing a wonderful starting point for conversation.
“Photographs do more than recall the past – they build a bridge between our memories and the present.”
Make a forget-me-not badge
House from Filkeháza
Make your own forget-me-not badge. The forget-me-not is an international symbol of dementia awareness, reminding us of the importance of caring and remembering.
“Small movements made by hand can help exercise the brain too.”
Join us and let’s share an experience that goes beyond remembrance – it’s also about reaching out to one another!
