Things are moving. Since the campaign launched, I’ve been able to experience VRENI with real people in real places – and it keeps reminding me why I started this.

Last week, VRENI was part of a three-day exhibition at the GZ Schütze in Zurich. Under the title «How We Remember», visitors could try the device themselves. I was there, watching and listening. The reactions moved me.

Now it’s time to push: 23 days left until the campaign ends. I’m grateful for every contribution – and even more for every shared link. If you know someone who works in care, who accompanies a person with dementia, or who simply believes projects like VRENI matter: please share this campaign with them.

Every shared moment helps.

Thank you for being part of this. Jasmin

You make a test possible

About the Initiators

Zürich

Als meine Grossmutter erste Anzeichen von Demenz zeigte, wurde mir bewusst, wie wertvoll Erinnerungen, Nähe und gemeinsame Momente sind. Diese Erfahrung hat mich tief bewegt. Im Rahmen meiner Bachelor-Arbeit an der ZHdK entstand daraus der Wunsch, mit VRENI etwas zu schaffen, das Menschen mit Demenz und ihre Angehörigen liebevoll begleitet.
