An open forum with free participation in which a space for meeting, dialogue and consensus is created to address their proposals and demands.
The mayor stressed that this Autumn Meeting "will allow us, for the second consecutive year, to pay a well-deserved tribute to our elders, because with their daily example they demonstrate that they are part of a vital and creative generation, with active participation in the social and cultural life of San Sebastián, both in the different festivities and celebrations throughout the year and in the scheduled activities and workshops, giving priority to the importance of belonging to a community and preserving the best neighborhood spirit."
The Councilor for Social Policies and Equality, Ana Campoy, added that this event puts an end to the programming designed within the Month of the Elderly in the municipality, coinciding with the celebration of the International Day of the Elderly on October 1, "from the City Council of San Sebastián de La Gomera we decided to dedicate this entire month to our elders, and for this reason we scheduled the start of the maintenance gymnastics season, we celebrated the workshop exhibition 'Creative Roots' and the painting exhibition 'Trazos Who Tell Stories', to which is now added the second Autumn Meeting.
Campoy announced that "in this second edition, around 300 people are expected to attend, for whom we have prepared a day of celebration in which we will be able to share a fellowship lunch, activities, entertainment and various musical performances." The councilor stressed that this meeting aims to “recognize the legacy of our elders and their valuable participation in each and every one of the initiatives that we carry out in our municipality. "We want, above all, to thank them for their history, their example and their fight to preserve our traditions, showing that they have a lot to contribute and a lot to teach new generations," he said.
