On Citizenship and Dementia
Citizenship - and being a citizen – concerns to a large extent to be participating and involved in the community and in the everyday life. It can be to participate and influence political matters, such as what goals and what visions that should be at the front in the society, but also to participate in activities and decisions that concern one’s own daily life.To highlight a citizenship perspective can illustrate how citizens living with dementia can continue to be active and participating persons in their neighbourhood, community and in the democracy, and by that also have fair conditions to take part and create their citizenship based on their own individual conditions.
This includes an international project on Dementia in the Workplace (MCI@work), and how conditions for participation can be created for people with mild cognitive impairment/dementia and opportunities to continue being active citizens in society, even after their working life. Projects also explore how citizenship for people with dementia is addressed in policy documents, in interactions with welfare workers, and in the legal field – tensions between law and practice regarding guardianship and the right to self-determination.
