CONVERSATIONS ALONG THE CAMINO | PART 2/2

In May 2023, ATLANTIC FELLOWS from several equity-focussed programs around the world, joined the WALKING THE TALK FOR DEMENTIA along the Camino in Spain, ending in SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA. They were able to do so because of grants awarded by the ATLANTIC INSTITUTE in Oxford which supports Fellows from the seven global Atlantic programs to connect and collaborate for change.

WALKING THE TALK FOR DEMENTIA was the brainchild of three people, including two Fellows for Equity in Brain Health, Fernando AGUZZOLI-PERES from Brazil and Clara DOMINGUEZ from Santiago de Compostela. They, along with Brazilian Gustavo SAN MARTIN, wanted to organise a conference with a difference where, over four days, people living with dementia, practitioners, researchers, caregivers and Atlantic Fellows walked and talked together to better understand each other’s experiences so that collectively they could create change.

The ATLANTIC INSTITUTE is based in Oxford, England and works to promote connection and collaboration among Fellows from the seven Atlantic equity-focused programmes around the world in the pursuit of fairer, healthier, more inclusive societies.

TALA, a Jordanian doctor, lives and works in San Diego, California, and is committed to the welfare of refugees, more than half a million of whom are hosted by Jordan. ANA is a journalist in the Philippines with a particular interest in reproductive rights.  Both women took part in a side meeting at PMAC on the topic, ACCELERATING UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE COVERAGE TO INCLUDE REFUGEES: THE MIDDLE EASTERN EXPERIENCE.
