A Special Day Gift to Relive School Days Wearing Old School Uniforms

[Jindo=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] The Dementia Safety Center in Jindo County, Jeollanam-do, operates the ‘Youth Photo Studio’ for seniors aged 65 and older to take a trip down memory lane.

The ‘Youth Photo Studio’ is a photo studio where general residents and dementia patients can live together in a community atmosphere, and seniors can prevent dementia and strengthen cognition by reminiscing about their school days and taking pictures wearing old school uniforms.

Applications are accepted once a month, with couples, families, or friends forming a team of up to five people.

Seniors who took photos at the Youth Photo Studio expressed their gratitude, saying, “Having lived a long life, I never thought I would have a day like this,” and “It was a happy day to be able to wear a school uniform again in my life.”

A representative of the Jindo County Dementia Safety Center said, “We hope this Youth Photo Studio will be a meaningful time for seniors to recall their youth and regain vitality in life,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to create a dementia-free Jindo County through various program operations and communication.”

Meanwhile, inquiries about the Youth Photo Studio can be made by visiting the Jindo County Health Center or contacting the Jindo County Dementia Safety Center.
