I’m still the same person - Ten years’ working together to create a dementia-friendly society

This impact report illustrates ten years of the King Baudouin Foundation’s activities in support of a ‘dementia-friendly society’, by putting the accent on key messages and a number of projects and initiatives: why they were set up, what was involved, who were the actors concerned and what their impact was. 

The Foundation’s work is not in isolation. It is rather a cog that is part of a large machine, a movement in which many people have collaborated and participated: experts and researchers, the many project initiators, associations and organisations, members of the call for projects juries, political decision makers and their administrations. And first and foremost, of course, the people themselves with dementia and their families.

We will also look to the future. In preparing this report, we consulted 25 experts in Belgium to discuss what the big challenges are regarding dementia and quality of life. What role can the King Baudouin Foundation and other European foundations (continue to) play?
