Schatzkisten (treasure boxes) Students of the Kassel Verena Dotzler Music Academy run a 9 month course (singing / movement) for persons with dementia and their carers .

Some conclusions from the Kassel Project Artists • are highly interested to venture into the field of dementia; • however, especially those who are very experienced, prefer to find their individual way on how to run the project instead of taking part in formal reminiscence training; • seem to include reminiscence aspects „naturally“ in their work, thereby developing their own new approaches; • can, by setting up a public performance, attract considerable awareness of dementia within the community and at the same time revise their own perception of persons with dementa.
