When: Thursday 11 June 2026, 11:00 - 12:00  ·  Where: K21 - Bornholmerhuset, Allinge  ·  From Clex: Jonas Henrik Lund

Clex invites you to an open panel debate at Folkemødet 2026 on one of the largest agendas in the future of elder care.

Elder care faces a new reality: fewer skilled hands and a workforce with a wider mix of language and professional backgrounds than before.

How do we secure quality, continuity, and safety for residents when the pace is high and preconditions differ? And how do we bring new staff well into the work - professionally, linguistically, and culturally?

The debate is grounded in practice and brings together perspectives from kommuner, politics, and the labour movement. The aim is an honest, nuanced conversation about an elder care in which both staff and residents experience quality - even as the conditions around the work change.
