World Alzheimer’s Day 2026
World Alzheimer’s Day 2026
September 21, 2026 | All day | Online
21 September marks World Alzheimer’s Day. Across the globe, special attention is paid to Alzheimer’s disease and other conditions that cause dementia. Dutch organizations, care centers, and local networks also organize events, markets, and gatherings to mark the occasion.
The national theme is ‘I keep participating’ (‘Ik blijf meedoen’).
Alzheimer Nederland
For this day, Alzheimer Nederland is issuing a call to action: do you have dementia and remain active? Share what you do and/or who helps you along the way. Share your message on social media using the hashtags #ikblijfmeedoen and #wereldalzheimerdag. In addition, Alzheimer Nederland organizes the ‘HerinneringenLoop’ walking event.
Also, local branches are organizing an extensive program of activities, including creative workshops and walks.

This knowledge institute for social issues focuses on professionals who help people with dementia continue to participate in society for longer. Around 21 September, Movisie is focusing entirely on the implementation of the updated Dementia Care Standard (‘Zorgstandaard Dementie’).
