Greek Alzheimer association in Chalkida hosts “Alzheimer picnic”

25/09/2019

On 25 September, the Greek Society of Alzheimer’s Disease of Chalkida, organised an intergenerational picnic event on the green space of Kanithos, Chalkida. The Greek Society of Alzheimer’s Disease of Chalkida supports a variety of activities to bring young and old people together in meaningful activities.

They called this picnic event “Walking - walking on the green space”. Authentic interaction and fun between children and seniors were the aims of this activity. 85 pupils from the 9th Primary School “Giannis Skarimpas” (5th and 6th grades) and 60 seniors, including people with dementia and caregivers, joined teachers, volunteers and professionals to enjoy team activities and games. All participants were engaged meaningfully in several activities and it was a “feel-good” experience for all.

Professionals and volunteers worked together to organise the event. The Greek Society of Alzheimer’s Disease of Chalkida wishes to thank everyone who made this event a success.
