Words of Strength
Insatiable drive to connect communities
Vision
Through harnessing our individual and collective power of creative expression, Magda believes we can rewrite narratives around aging and dementia and design systems that support a present and a future we all would want to age into together.
Strategy
Magda is developing a training model for dance educators and non-dancers who work with older adults to understand the inherent elements in dance, which support brain health and build a cognitive reserve across the lifespan.
Impact
Magda aims to connect with interdisciplinary professionals at the forefront of dementia research and clinical practice, to expand evidence-based creative aging programming, ensuring the longevity, expansion and continued recognition of the field as one essential to the mental, physical and social health of older adults globally.
Motivation
Magda believes that part of the challenges we face around dementia and aging in the United States is that we are in desperate need of rewriting social narratives to person-centered systems, which view people not through the metric of what they can produce, but who there are, uniquely.
