On the 4th of September 2020 I held my doctoral celebration in the Sint-Geertrui church in Leuven under the watchful eye of promoter Dirk De Wachter and in the company of family, friends and all kinds of experts.

Due to Corona only 100 attendees were allowed. However, you can listen to or watch the entire evening, or parts of it, via the images below. That way you sit a bit in the front row.

After an academic part (see parts 1 to 3), I give the word to several people who inspired me on the path of my investigation (see parts 4 to 18). They teached me to approach dementia from different angles: art, humor, imagery, psychosocial interventions, communication, the future and imagination.
