International Day of the Elderly was marked in Ansião with the start of the 'Days of Greater Life', an initiative promoted by the Municipality aimed at providing various events designed for the senior community throughout the county.
The first day focused on the theme ‘Aging with health’, aligned with the Eu Posso Correr (EPC) program and, specifically, with the EPC + Saúde initiative. This activity, which takes place every Thursday morning, is carried out in partnership with UCC Nabão - Community Care Unit of Ansião.
The Councillor for Sports, Sérgio Pires, and the Councillor for Social Action, Maria Goreti Correia, attended the event. The route started at the Nascente do Nabão and ended at the opposite end of the Parque Verde do Nabão, late in the morning. The activity concluded with a healthy snack and dancing.
The main objective of this morning was to promote the regular practice of sports and its physical, emotional, and social benefits.
In the afternoon, visits began to private social solidarity institutions, namely the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Ansião and the Residência Sénior do Nabão. The Social Action Services brought several musical moments to these locations.
The complete program for the 'Days of Greater Life', which will run until October 9th, is available for consultation.
