On 1 October, the Turkish Alzheimer Association’s Marmara and Kadıköy branches, in collaboration with Üsküdar Municipality, organised an engaging community event to mark International Day for Older Persons. The gathering aimed to raise awareness and promote brain health among older adults, drawing strong interest from the Üsküdar community. The programme included insightful presentations by expert academics on healthy brain ageing, Alzheimer’s disease and its risk factors, and psychological support for older people. Attendees also enjoyed an interview-style dialogue between two guest actors, who reflected on the connection between art, mind, and time. The event concluded with two interactive workshops, giving participants a chance to actively engage and apply what they learned, making the day both educational and inspiring.
