As part of the week of events to mark the 20th anniversary of Paderborn University's "audit family-friendly university", the travelling exhibition "Der Alltag pflegender Angehöriger" will be presented on the entrance level of the university library.

The exhibition provides insights into the lives of nine carers from Berlin. It shows the challenges and burdens as well as the closeness, gratitude and joy associated with caring at home.

It depicts the diversity of family carers - whether partners, parents, children, people with a migration background, professionals or young people. With personal stories, the exhibition makes visible what otherwise often remains invisible: Caregiving as a central part of our everyday lives and our society.

The exhibition invites people to enter into dialogue with one another, to give carers visibility and to become more aware of the importance of carers in our society.

The travelling exhibition is on loan from the Berlin-based Fachstelle für pflegende Angehörige. It will be opened on 24 November 2025 at 10:30 am in the foyer of the university and can then be visited in the library until 30 November 2025 (opening hours: Monday to Friday: 7:30 am to midnight, Saturday/Sunday: 9:00 am to 8:30 pm).
