Dem*ntia

  • Vika Marszalek

The goal of this project is to build a more dementia-friendly society and that way bridge the gap between people suffering from dementia and the rest of society. To let the people impacted by the illness not feel embarrassed and society to stop acting with prejudice.

People impacted by dementia feel very often socially disconnected and even excluded, and therefore feeling no longer 'normal'. Dealing with the illness becomes very complicated and difficult. But in the first stages there are simple things in the society that could be shifted, that would make the disease process less difficult. It is a behaviour and attitude of the society towards people impacted by dementia.
