Our idea:
the whole life

LEARN…FROM EACH OTHER

Learning never goes in just one direction. As the team at the Bildungswerk, we learn every day from the people and patients who surround us. It is important to take these experiences into account and make them useful for other people. This is why the Hospiz Elias Educational Center is a place where lifelong and life-enhancing education is learned and taught in a reciprocal way.

We organize information and theme evenings, courses, workshops and seminars and lead excursions. In their professional biographies and expertise, our lecturers and speakers reflect the range of fields of knowledge required to shed light on the processes of patients and their relatives in end-of-life care: for dying people, relatives and caregivers.
