CONVERSATIONS ALONG THE CAMINO | OMNIBUS

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.

Conversations along the Camino | Part 1

LIVING WITH A DEMENTIA DIAGNOSIS

Welcome back to WALKING THE TALK FOR DEMENTIA.

In 2023, ATLANTIC FELLOWS (https://www.atlanticfellows.org/) joined people living with dementia, practitioners, researchers and caregivers in SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain, for a walk along the Camino followed by a symposium.  This was a conference with a difference.  Over the course of a week, participants walked and talked together to better understand each other’s experiences so that collectively they could create change.  You can hear the story of that week in the opening podcasts in this series.

In the following podcasts, we catch up with conversations from that week between Atlantic Fellows and some of the participants.  

We begin with PROFESSOR BRIAN LAWLOR (https://www.gbhi.org/profiles/brian-lawlor) from the GLOBAL BRAIN HEALTH INSTITUTE (https://www.gbhi.org/) in conversation with LAURIE WATERS from the US and BERRIE HOLTZHAUSEN from Namibia, both of whom live with dementia.
