We can assist you in setting up a dementia cafe and keeping it running. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
1. Lectures for future cafe founders
We offer a start-up course for people who want to start a dementia cafe or who want to start a cafe but are not sure what to do. We will also introduce you to cafes that are already in operation and help coordinate visits.
You can hold a traial cafe at the Center.
2. Social meeting for cafe operators
We hold a social meeting with people who run dementia cafes. Let’s exchange information and share your issues, and solve them together instead of worrying alone.

Even with a dementia diagnosis, a person can continue to live with confidence and peace of mind if those around them provide thoughtful and effective support. The key to this support is ongoing communication that helps the person feel, “You matter to us.”
We encourage you to attend our Humanitude® courses, such as for professionals and emergency medical personnel, led by certified instructors. Click here for the courses

By incorporating dementia-friendly design principles into your homes and other spaces, you can create living environments where people with dementia can live safely and with less stress. Fukuoka City has developed a Dementia-Friendly Design Guide, outlining 30 key points to help create more comfortable spaces for everyone, including those living with dementia.
This course will provide a clear and accessible explanation of the guide’s core design principles, along with practical tips and sample timelines for implementing these concepts in buildings.
The Dementia-Friendly Design Guide created by Fukuoka City is available for download from the city’s official website.

In this session, participants will have the opportunity to experience the Dementia AR Experience called “Dementia Eyes”.
The dementia AR experience is an augmented reality (AR) and enable you to experience elements of common visual symptoms of dementia, mainly Alzheimer’s type. Through the experience, you will be able to understand the difficulties and anxiety felt by people with dementia, which will help you reflect on your past and future responses, and at the same time, you will be able to gain the insight on how to improve the environment such as potential hazard and easy-to-understand color combinations.

Even after a person has dementia, they can continue to live lives with fulfilment if those around them are able to communicate them well. What is needed for this communication is to keep telling people, “I care about you”.
In this course, we will explain “Humanitude®”, a communication technique to convey kindness to people with dementia.
If you wish to attend this course, please register for the course for professionals and emergency medical services.

By incorporating “dementia-friendly design” into homes and other facilities, it is possible to create a living environment where people with dementia can live as independently and confidently as possible and live as one would like to live.
