“Ageing the way we want to”: new workshops for the elderly
The workshops are aimed at the over-65s and are given by the illustrator and social educator Elisabeth Justicia, creator of the character Dominga. The aim is to break down stereotypes, offer self-cure strategies, highlight freedom in old age and stand up for the rights and freedoms of senior citizens.
The workshops will be held in each of Barcelona’s districts with groups no more than twenty people and divided into three sessions:
- Old age and ageism
- Self-care and self-esteem
- Free and active ageing
Registration will be conducted at each centre and the calendar of the workshops, starting on 5 May, is as follows:
