Project title
O Projeto de Teatro Sénior
Description of initiative
The Senior Theater project took place in the municipality of Silves, in the Algarve. The initiative, conceived and implemented by technicians from the social action sector and the culture sector of the Municipality of Silves, aimed to be a complementary action to the program developed within the scope of the promotion of active ageing, which mostly included physical activities. The idea of promoting theatrical activity was suggested by elements of the senior groups, who already participated in other initiatives of the Poles of Education to the Long Life of the Municipality of Silves.
