The councils of the Third Age and Servicios Sociales of the Town hall of El Poble Nou de Benitatxell begin 2017 with a proposal aimed at those over 55 years of age in the municipality. This is the Memory workshop, an activity that will give advice and implement mnemonic exercises to exercise memory in daily life and strengthen attention and memory capacity.
The workshop will be held in the morning, on Tuesdays or Thursdays, from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the municipal library. The course will begin on January 9, 2017 and will last until March 12, 2017. Those interested in participating may obtain more information at the Department of Social Services, during business hours, or by calling 96 649 33 69 ext. 130. The course is free since it is an activity subsidized by the Alicante Provincial Council. Registration will be open from December 19 to January 5 at the Municipal Library.
Councilman for Senior Citizens, Manolo Segarra, "It is vitally important to continually exercise memory and perform skills exercises to keep the body and mind in shape at all ages as well as contact with other people to keep the social network active and avoid social isolation".
