Project title

Arte & Demencia

Description of initiative

Since 2017, Fundays have given conferences and workshops for caregivers and relatives of people living with Alzheimer's and dementia, providing tools for the incorporation of artistic activities and therapeutic art as support to slow the progression of the disease and improve the quality of life of people suffering from this disease. They also offered individual and group sessions for people living with Alzheimer's, dementia and / or cognitive impairment. They were using various modalities of expressive therapies to stimulate the physical and cognitive abilities of people in a playful and creative environment, that allows the expression of feelings and ideas through the creation and interpretation of artistic objects.
