On 14-15 January, the Memorable project was officially launched in Sofia, Bulgaria, hosted by Alzheimer Bulgaria. This initiative, funded by the Erasmus+ programme, is dedi-cated to creating a dementia-friendly society by integrating art and culture to strengthen connections between individuals living with dementia and their communities. Bringing together five European partners, the Memorable consortium includes: Alzheimer Bulgaria (coordinator), SHINE 2Europe (Portugal), AFEdemy (Netherlands), ISIS Institut für Soziale Infrastruktur (Germany) and Dublin City University (Ireland). During the kick-off meeting, partners outlined the project’s goals and action plan.
Key activities in the next months include desk research on dementia-friendly cultural practices in partner countries and interviews with people living with dementia, informal caregivers, and experts to co-create impactful project outcomes. The Memorable project will focus on empowering volunteers, caregivers, artists, and cultural professionals through training to create dementia-friendly cultural spaces. It will support museums, galleries, and cultural venues in becoming more accessible to individuals with dementia. You will soon be able to find updates regarding the project on its website:
