A group of 25 Seniors from Nerja have taken part in an ‘active ageing’ workshop in Antequera, participating in such wide-ranging activities as laughter therapy, funny photos and preventing dementia.
New season of Active Ageing starts on Monday
The new season of Active Ageing for seniors begins on Monday September 16th and has been expanded to five groups to allow more people to benefit from this therapeutic exercise. The activities, which take place at the Municipal Swimming Pool, take place under the supervision of monitors.
Active Ageing programme to continue
The Active Ageing programme, which began last September, has ended for this season. Around 120 seniors, divided into four groups, attended the twice-weekly sessions in the municipal swimming pool. A new season will begin on September 15th 2013 and the deadline for applications is July 15th.
Active Ageing Programme extended
The Active Ageing programme for the elderly held at the Municipal Swimming Pool is to be extended for one year and will be expanded to three groups instead of the current two groups due to demand. This will reduce the waiting list for the programme.
