Neurocultura para Mayores is back in San Cristóbal de La Laguna this October, taking a series of cultural activities into neighbourhoods across the municipality and bringing them directly to local associations for older residents.
The programme is part of Mi Barrio es Cultura, with the idea that culture isn’t just about going to see something. It can also be a good excuse to get together, have a chat, share a few memories and keep people connected to their community.
And let’s be honest, a decent conversation over a coffee can sometimes do more for you than another afternoon staring at the television.
October Dates
The programme visits different associations throughout the month:
- 5 October: Asociación de Mayores Carpe Diem, Centro Ciudadano Guajara
- 6 October: Asociación de Mayores Cruz de Marca
- 7 October: Asociación de Mayores Tornero, Centro Ciudadano Camino El Tornero
- 19 October: Asociación de Mayores El Granero
- 20 October: Asociación de Mayores La Montaña de San Matías
- 27 October: Asociación de Mayores Teobaldo Power, Plaza de Las Mercedes
The sessions are designed as places to participate, talk, share experiences and keep those social connections going, rather than simply sitting back and watching something happen.
It’s another example of the sort of local programme that takes culture out of the usual venues and puts it where people actually live.
