The quality of life in the aging process will be debated at the conference “Viver Bem, Avelhecer Melhor”, which the University of Algarve's Gambelas Campus, in Faro, will host tomorrow, the 27th of October, from 10:00 am.
The initiative will have the participation of more than 500 people. In addition to around 200 technicians, leaders and caregivers of associations, homes, municipalities and mercies, 250 users of homes and day centers throughout the Algarve are confirmed.
According to the University of Algarve, the program, which can be found here, «was designed taking into account the different audiences, so there will be parallel sessions aimed at the general public and technicians and caregivers». The initiatives aimed at the general public take place in the Grand Auditorium of the Campus das Gambelas. The sessions aimed at professionals in the field will take place in the Green Auditorium of the Faculty of Science and Technology.
UAlg added that the objective of this conference is "to promote reflection on successful aging, based on experiences that promote greater social participation, health and safety of older people in communities."
These days are part of the “International Center on Aging” Project, “which intends to consolidate itself as an international center of excellence with regard to research and innovation in the area of aging, leading, through cross-border collaboration, the promotion of knowledge and research in this area'.
Participation is free.
