Dystonia Europe is proud to launch More Than Dystonia, a new awareness campaign for Dystonia Awareness Month, September 2026. The campaign aims to challenge misconceptions about dystonia and reduce stigma by shining a light on the people behind the diagnosis.

Featuring powerful portraits and personal statements from people living with dystonia, the campaign highlights the many roles, passions and identities that make up each individual’s life. Through a simple message, participants introduce themselves not by their condition, but by who they are.

A key part of the campaign is community participation. To make it easy to get involved, customisable graphics templates are available below, allowing you to create and share your own More Than Dystonia images. The templates are made in Canva, an easy-to-use online design tool that helps people create professional-looking graphics without needing graphic design skills.

We encourage all our members, supporters, and followers to get involved, helping us to reach more people and raise awareness of dystonia. Don’t forget to use the hashtags #DystoniaAwarenessMonth and #MoreThanDystonia, and to tag @DystoniaEurope when you can.
