The Cabildo of La Gomera and APEDECA reinforce the 'La Gomera Acompaña' program with a new program of cultural and social participation activities that will take place during the months of November and December in Vallehermoso and Alajeró.
The initiative, financed by the Cabildo of La Gomera within the line of support for social well-being and active aging, aims to generate spaces for meeting, participation and coexistence, while promoting proposals linked to culture, creativity, physical activity and inclusion.
The president of the Cabildo of La Gomera, Casimiro Curbelo, highlighted the importance of maintaining decentralized programming that allows these types of actions to be brought closer to different population centers on the island. In this sense, he pointed out that 'La Gomera Acompaña' "contributes to creating spaces for coexistence and participation that promote well-being and strengthen the links between people and their environment."
For her part, the insular Minister of Social Policy, Rosa Elena García, highlighted the diversity of the planned activities, "with proposals that combine culture, creative expression, physical exercise and communication, and that allow promoting active aging and greater social participation."
Cultural day in El Cercado
The program will arrive in El Cercado, in Vallehermoso, next Friday, November 20, with a cultural day under the motto 'Connections that care', which will take place in the town square between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
The program will begin with the presentation of the day and then begin a literary creation workshop taught by the writer Montse Cano, aimed at promoting creativity, personal expression and participation through writing. After a brief break, the activity will continue with the intervention of Mar Ardévol, who will present the comic 'Life of Blessed José Torres'.
Programming in Playa Santiago
In parallel, 'La Gomera Acompaña' develops in the town of Playa Santiago, in the municipality of Alajeró, a program of workshops and activities during the months of November and December, in the offices of the El Drago Seniors Association.
The program includes Zumba sessions scheduled for November 11 and December 9, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., which are intended to promote physical exercise, mobility and socialization through music and movement.
Likewise, a drama therapy session will take place on November 16, the schedule of which has yet to be determined. This proposal will use resources linked to theatrical and body expression as tools to stimulate communication, creativity and emotional expression.
Activities for Disability Day
The programming in Playa Santiago will also incorporate a special day on December 4 to mark Disability Day. During the morning, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., a talk accompanied by games and participatory dynamics will take place.
That same day, in the afternoon, between 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., a crafts workshop will be held. These activities seek to promote spaces for coexistence and awareness, in addition to promoting participation through playful, creative and inclusive proposals.
