With a varied programme, the initiative, promoted by the Felgueiras City Council, aims to promote the inclusion of groups that are usually isolated, such as the elderly.

The Councillor for Social Action and Health, Rosa María Pinto, highlights that this event is part of a structured programme that the municipality is developing in the field of social inclusion and the promotion of active ageing.

“The initiatives are related to the involvement of people over 60 years of age, valuing their knowledge and integrating them into a more active social life.” “The characteristic that distinguishes this event from others is that the elderly and social solidarity institutions are not just spectators, but promoters of the activities,” added the mayor.

“Pátio das Cantigas” aims to recreate everyday practices from the 40s and 50s and aims to create encounters, promote intergenerational links and value and recognise the knowledge acquired throughout life.
