- Exploring possibilities
- Belgian-Dutch knowledge network on dementia amongst elderly migrants
On the 7th of September ENIEC members Saloua Berdai-Chaouni, Ann Claeys, Conny van der Aalsvoort and Jennifer van den Broeke came together with several Dutch experts in the field of dementia amongst the elderly with a migrant background. The meeting was organized to explore whether or not a Belgian-Dutch knowledge network on dementia amongst elderly migrants could be useful and worthwhile. We concluded we need more time to talk, but that the first meeting was promising. A next meeting will be at ‘Het Wereldhuis’ (Sefkat) in Boxtel.
