MEMORABLE Project
The main idea of the Memorable project is to develop educational materials to support (in)formal caregivers, artists, and other stakeholders within the cultural domain to create artistic and cultural activities and opportunities or adapt existing artistic and cultural activities and opportunities so that people living with dementia and their loved ones can enjoy them too. Thus, this project will provide low-threshold educational materials to increase the chance for these groups to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to accommodate people living with dementia and their loved ones to enjoy cultural life.
This project has the potential to make a significant impact by addressing a critical gap in educational resources for volunteers, (in)formal caregivers, artists, and cultural stakeholders.

As Europe's aging population grows, so does the number of people living with dementia, who often face isolation, loneliness, and a lower quality of life. Artistic and cultural activities have shown great potential to enhance well-being, communication, and cognitive abilities in people living with dementia. However, access to these activities remains limited, highlighting the need for greater awareness of their benefits.
