Research and Science

The family audiobook intervention works – this is demonstrated by independent scientific studies that accompany our work. They show how much the possibility of leaving a biographical audiobook emotionally relieves seriously ill parents, gives children lasting memories and strengthens relatives in dealing with grief. Research is thus a central part of our charitable work – and provides a sound basis for a possible integration of supply into standard care.

The Family Audiobook Movie

For over a year, volunteer filmmakers from Was Gute e.V. accompanied the family audiobook and produced a documentary. ‘Social engagement needs media presence to be effective’, says Marlene Hirschfeld of ‘Was Gute’, an association of volunteer creatives who support and present socially engaged projects with high-quality, short documentaries.

The family audiobook was selected as a social project and portrayed by the Was-Gutes team in a 24-minute documentary. In sensitive scenes, the documentary presents a participant but also survivors, conveys through interviews with an audio biographer and a sound designer the design framework and the recording situation in which participants can speak and influence their work. Convince yourself of this great work – a heartfelt thank you to the Was Gute e.V. team
