This initiative's main objective is to promote emotional well-being, enhance creativity, and strengthen social relationships among seniors through artistic processes. The project views art as a means of expression, encounter, and participation, providing a safe and welcoming environment to explore various materials and creative languages.
Participants will be able to approach artistic creation with freedom and enjoyment, without needing prior knowledge or aiming for a specific aesthetic outcome. It is based on the idea that creative capacity is present throughout life and that art can be a tool to connect with emotions, memories, identity, and significant experiences.
'Create from Experience' is grounded in an Art Therapy approach centered on individuals, respecting their rhythms, abilities, and interests. Creative activities aim to foster emotional expression, communication, cognitive stimulation, and active participation, as well as reinforce self-esteem, autonomy, and a sense of belonging.
The project will be led by three specialized art therapists. Three groups will be organized: on Mondays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and Fridays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The activity is intended for individuals over 60 years old, retired and/or pensioners, registered in the municipality of Gáldar.
Interested individuals should register by calling 928/880050, extension 5141, or by sending an email to envejecimientoactivogaldar@gmail.com.
