Building on the momentum of raising awareness, Alzheimer Athens, in partnership with the Region of Epirus and the Municipality of Arta, organised the 1st Elderly Festival from 4 to 6 October 2024. This three-day event celebrated older adults and their contributions to society. Held in Arta, the festival featured cultural, educational, and entertainment activities aimed at enhancing well-being and promoting community engagement among older citizens. With support from local cultural clubs and authorities, the event attracted approximately 2,000 participants. The Elderly Festival fostered a strong sense of belonging, encouraging active citizenship and intergenerational connection. It served as a reminder of the importance of valuing and empowering older members of the community. Alzheimer Athens remains steadfast in its mission to address the challenges of dementia and foster a more inclusive society. Through year-round events, the organisation works tirelessly to promote awareness, advocate for policy changes, and provide support for patients and caregivers.
