On Saturday 24 September 2022, the Association Luxembourg Alzheimer (ALA) organised its 21st Memory Walk on the Place Clairefontaine in Luxembourg City. From 11:00 to 17:00, visitors were able to learn about Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia at the information stands of the ALA. In a relaxed atmosphere, they had the opportunity to meet new people and take part in many discussions. In addition to food stalls, there were various activities, including a concert by Serge Tonnar & Band and music by Les Brasseurs. The Memory Walk itself allowed participants to show their solidarity with people with dementia. The Walk, accompanied by a tourist guide, took participants to the Grand Ducal Palace, where they were given information about the Grand Duke's official residence in the city and about the Luxembourg-Nassau dynasty. The theme of this year's Memory Walk was "Dementia, let's stand together". The inclusion of people with dementia and their relatives requires sensitivity and tolerance and means reacting flexibly to everyday obstacles. People with dementia and their relatives must feel that they are accepted and have a place in society despite their illness, insists the ALA. The Minister for Family Affairs, Mrs Corinne Cahen, also honoured the ALA with her presence.
