Living in old age: a conversation about families of choice, senior residences, nursing homes then and now
How has the city of Basel developed in its old-age policy, where does it stand today and how far is this from the guidelines of the former La Charmille? What do we want for our own old age and what is important for professionals? These and other questions will be discussed by Lukas Engelberger, member of Basel's cantonal government and head of the Department of Health, journalist and non-fiction author Cornelia Kazis and Steffi Bollag, president of the Israelite community of Basel and director of various institutions for the elderly in Switzerland and abroad. The evening will be moderated
by journalist and historian Peter Bollag.
Afterwards you are invited to an aperitif, to browse the book table and to visit the exhibition "Shabbes, Schnitzel, Mehrbettzimmer" on the former Jewish retirement home La Charmille.

For adults. Museum entrance fee. The number of places is limited, registration is requested. The event takes place in the Lüscherhaus foyer (Baselstrasse 30).
