H2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Project
Exploring the role of metaphors, emotions and stigma in the life of people with dementia.
“How we talk about dementia really matters, because it changes how we feel and behave, This project is working with people with dementia to help everyone to talk about dementia better. We imagine a world where the challenges of dementia are not compounded by stigmatising language and attitudes.”

What people say
