Reflection Tools

During the AMiDE project, reflection tools were developed in each of the partner countries, Denmark, Italy, Germany and Latvia. The tools are related to the national context in these countries and – except for the Danish reflection tool – they can be found in the national languages only in the German, Italian and Latvian section of this website

In Denmark five reflection videos were produced. The care staff of Dementia Center Aarhus together with care education students from SOSU Ostjylland developed the story boards based on
real situations and also the staff and the students were the actors. Besides, an interview with the manager of a multicultural care home. The videos with subtitles in English can be found below.

The German partners developed a set of questions that are related to knowledge and to the contents of the modules of the AMiDE material and a Mentorship Concept related to mentorships
for people with dementia and migration history in the care home Haus am Klostergarten. The questions as well as the Mentorship Concept can be found on AMiDE website in German language.

The Italian and the Latvian partners both developed games in the form of cards that can be found in the Italian and Latvian section of this website respectively and can be downloaded from there

Relationship before task (subtitles) :

A person with dementia needs personal care but becomes extroverted when staff try to help him. What can we do?

Excessive and dangerous (subtitles) :

Is this person “dangerous” when she speaks loudly and gestures a lot? The focus is on what happens in the group of staff when the person is perceived as outgoing and “dangerous”.

Professional approach (subtitles) :

A caregiver with a different ethnic background has a very hard time making demands to the resident, she doesn’t think she can become familiar with it

The right choice (subtitles) :

One part of an Italian family thinks that the resident should go to a nursing home while the other part of the family does not think that it is a proper treatment for old people. The daughter who lives in Denmark has her mother living with her but now needs help.
