Storytelling is an activity capable of always renewing itself and breaking the barriers of time, regardless of the evolution of humanity. As it is a group activity, the senior is able to socialize, feeling less alone.

Telling his/her own story, allows the senior to relive and remember events, experiencing the associated feelings and emotions.

The recovery of positive memories can generate feelings of joy and pride.

With this in mind, this week’s Golden Age Activity, which took place on May 14th, was hosted by Eugénia Graça, who created characters for the creation of a story, with the participation of the seniors. With their precious life lessons and testimonies, this collaboration proved to be a new learning.

The created story valued unique aspects of each participant and is also a useful tool for younger people to absorb the values and behaviours incorporated in it.
