Tuesday of Lambri and the Traditional Cypriot Games at AgkaliaZO (Day Care Center for Adults and People with Dementia - SKE Liopetri) had their honorary.
Members of the Center together with the staff had the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful sunny day with a lot of fun and madness. The day included egg races, rope, the… garo, ziziro, katomougia, song, dance and of course food!
It is very important to remind ourselves and to honor the customs of our place so that the younger ones can learn and the older ones can remember!
The participation of the elderly in recreational and creative activities is done not only for recreational but also for therapeutic purposes, it is scientifically proven that these interventions stimulate both physical and mental health.
Creative employment and entertainment initially, gives a meaning to the life of the elderly and the meaning of human action is associated with creative processes. Retirement activity is important for well-being and can help maintain a sense of belonging and meaning in everyday life.
Also during Holy Week, various activities took place such as the representation of St. Lazarus by the members, painting eggs and Easter cards which the members exchanged with the staff. Candles were made and members watched snapshots and sequences of Holy Week.
