CECON Nova Rússia will have theater, 60+ Games, lectures and special activities for elderly people during October in Ponta Grossa
CECON New Russia, at Ponta Grossa, will have a special schedule during October in honor of the International Day of the Elderly, celebrated on Thursday (1st). Among the activities are presentations of theater, music therapy, 60+ Games and lectures focused on health, coexistence and quality of life.
The program aims to encourage active ageing and to extend the integration moments between the people served by the Center for the Coexistence of the Elderly.
The opening takes place on October 1st, starting at 1.30 p.m., at the CECON New Russia itself. The first activity will be the presentation of the play “Queen Ester”, staged by the group Generation Kaleb +60, formed by people over 60 years old. Then there will be a music therapy session.
According to the president of the Ponta Grossa Social Welfare Foundation (FASPG), Tatyana Belo, the proposal is to place the elderly as protagonists of the activities carried out in space.
“October is a month to celebrate the elderly, but above all to recognize how much they have to teach and contribute to our city. At CECON, the elderly are the protagonists: they take the stage, compete, dance and learn,” he says.
60+ games move programming
Between October 13 and 16, CECON New Russia also holds another edition of the 60+ Games.
The opening will be on the 13th, in the hall of the CECON. The next day, participants will have a thematic dance, accompanied by the choice of the King and Queen of the Games.
On the 15th, the program continues with a sports gymnasium at the Zukão Gymnasium. The closing will be on the 16th, with prizes for participants and activities promoted by different municipal secretariats.
The 60+ Games are supported by the Municipal Secretariat of Sports and are held in partnership with the Municipal Council of the Rights of the Elderly, the Association of Friends of the Elderly (AAPI), Renascer Group, SOS Ponta Grossa, APP-Sindicato and coexistence groups of the municipality.
Health will also be highlighted
In the second half of the month, between October 19 and 21, the program will have lectures on sexuality, nutrition and the use of medicines.
The meetings will address topics related to health, autonomy and quality of life during aging.
The period will also be marked by the closure of the Culture Project. The initiative uses concepts related to cultivation, flowering and harvesting to encourage reflections on human values, positive feelings and relationships built throughout life.
According to CECON New Russia coordinator Viviane Dick Ossig, the project was developed over three months.
“For three months, elderly people were invited to cultivate virtues, share words that represent their experiences and celebrate the fruits of group living,” he explains.
