European
Dystonia Week - 17th – 24th November 2007
EDF
started European Dystonia Day in 2002 and proclaimed 15th
November as the special date. The idea was to create public awareness
throughout Europe and most national groups joined in with various
activities. It certainly achieved a lot more understanding of dystonia
among the public and the medical profession. In the following years EDF
left the date more open and called it European Dystonia Week, so
that each national group could find a date which suited them. A number of
countries are still very active and organise various functions and
activities. Other groups, like TDS, UK, have always organised their
Dystonia Day activities in May each year. In our opinion it would be a
pity if we don’t keep up this initiative, but we will discuss new ideas
and/or different dates at the Annual Meeting in Vienna.
Please bring up this subject at your next Meeting and give us your thoughts on this subject in our Member Forum or for delegates at the Meeting in Vienna. We want to keep you involved! Only by working together we will be able to keep European Dystonia Week as lively as before.
