WALKING THE TALK FOR DEMENTIA
Experience
We will walk together to show that dementia is not the end, and that everyone deserves to live a life with dignity, purpose, and adventures.
We are healthcare professionals, advocates, policy makers, researchers and people living with dementia from over 20 countries. Our journey will cover around 50 km from May 1-4, and will provide moments of deep conversations to diversify social, geographical, cultural and lived perspectives on dementia.
WALKING THE TALK FOR DEMENTIA
Symposium
On May 5-6, we will gather at the Auditorium of the Hotel San Francisco in Santiago de Compostela to talk about how we are living, working and researching dementia today, bringing up ideas for a fairer and more inclusive future for all.

About us
Fernando Aguzzoli-Peres
“I was a teenager when I dropped out of college and work to take care of my grandmother with Alzheimer's. Since then, I have launched books and YouTube channels telling the world about our adventures together. She changed my life, now I want to change other families experience too!”
Dr Clara Dominguez Vivero
"I have been working with dementia patients in Compostela for years now, but my focus remains the same: develop non-pharmacological interventions for patients and support for families. Without this comprehensive approach, it is very unlikely to provide the assistance that is needed.”
Gustavo San Martin
"After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, my goal has been to make life easier for people living with a chronic disease. To be able to hold an event with this purpose is special not only considering my personal challenge, but for combining my grandmother's diagnosis, Alzheimer's, and her strong roots from Galicia.”
