DAY V – mental fitness training

The fifth day was spent mainly in two facilities serving the needs of older people. The first place was the Centro Municipal de Mayores Ruzafa, or Ruzafa Municipal Activity Center for Seniors. On site, the Center’s employees talked about their work and all kinds of activities prepared for Spanish seniors.

The next place the seniors visited that day was EPA Escuela de Personas Adultas Mislata, a training center for adults. The unit organizes many courses for people over 18 years of age. These include: courses preparing for qualification tests in a specific profession, language courses and seminars and workshops on various topics. One of the workshops offered by the center that seniors liked was mental fitness training. For this reason, on that day, employees of EPA Escuela de Personas Adultas Mislata prepared one-hour workshops for the mobility participants to improve their mental condition. All participants were delighted with the opportunity to learn different techniques and ways to stimulate the brain.

The fifth day was the penultimate day of the stay in Spain, so an evening tour of the city was obligatory on that day in order to buy souvenirs and take souvenir photos.
