Enabling people with dementia to go outside and do some shopping (getting exercise) without loosing the way. Creating a dementia friendly neighborhood.
We use sustainable paints to create a temporary path in order to find out what works and what doesn't before making anything permanent. We do this in cooperation with a researcher from the VU.
Evaluating the project and preparing replication to other cities.
We are learning a lot. We were especially surprised by the participation of the people with dementia in creating the route, informing neighbors and getting to know the local entrepreneurs. This did not only keep the social costs down, but it was a lot of fun for them as well.
After the Climate Fresk game, you will have a clear and thorough understanding of the climate problem. You will get a precise idea of the interrelated causes of climate change and the angles from which the problem should be approached. It is like the mist is clearing up around this complex problem! Even self-declared "climate responsible" people often discover after this game that they had wrong assumptions or ideas about the climate problem that in fact lead to false hopes or fears.
The 3 hours game has been developed in France. It has recently become very popular as a fast education tool, especially for companies that want to position themselves in this field together with all their employees.
The Kaskantine offers its place and platform for trainers and facilitators of the Climate Fresk to have regular sessions and train new facilitators to build this network further. You can do the Climate Fresk also in other cities in the Netherlands and online.
This time the game is in English, next time in Dutch!

One of the benefits of this project that we were not expecting was creating awareness about Odensehuis in the local community. Though many have heard of the Odensehuis few actually knew where it was. Now that there is a physical path, people in the neighbourhood know exactly where it is.
This is an ideal project for businesses in the area to support as though the path is for people with dementia, the path leads everyone to the local shopping area. Sympathetic and a topic that touches all of us.
Ideally it would be great to have local businesses sponsoring this path to reduce the costs to the gemente who could then spread their budget to include more dementia day care centers.
Interesting project and great press coverage!
