Have you ever wondered who would speak for you if you couldn’t speak for yourself?
Most of us have wishes about how we would like to be cared for if we became seriously ill or could no longer make decisions ourselves. But very few of us know how to record these wishes.
In this themed session, we’ll explore Advance Directives, also known as Living Wills (English), Patientenverfügung (German) and Diretiva Antecipada de Vontade DAV / Testamento Vital (Portuguese).
Together with Tanja Himming, Clinical Lead & Palliative Care Nurse at Associação Madrugada , we’ll learn about Advance Directives, why they matter, and how to complete them. There will be time for Q&A and example official forms will be available.
Whether you’re thinking about supporting ageing parents, your own future or simply want to be informed, this meeting is open for all people, all stages of life.
Know that this isn’t about making legal arrangements or writing a will. It’s about expressing your wishes for (future) medical care, choosing who can speak on your behalf, and creating clarity for yourself and those you love.
🗓 Sunday, August 23th
🕙 10:00–12:00 am
📍 In Harmony Centre, Lagos

This meeting is part of our themed series called ‘What is a Good Death?’, where we explore different aspects of death, dying and living with openness, curiosity and care.
