“I Mercoledì del Benessere”

  • Rita Squarcetti

Monthly meetings on topics related to personal health and the environment are organized for people over 60, and are led by female members with specific expertise. These meetings aim to raise awareness of the association in the provincial capital and to promote the concept of ecological well-being. Information about the initiative, in addition to being shared on social media, is primarily targeted at the association’s members and at individuals belonging to partner organizations with whom we collaborate and to whom we have presented the activity plan. The decision was made to use the association’s own premises for the events. Auser Tuscia is well known for its work in teaching Italian to foreigners and for serving as an examination centre for A2 and B1 language certification. While this provides the association with a strong reputation, it can also be a limiting factor in a socially conservative urban context. This project represents an effort to demonstrate that our role extends beyond language instruction and companionship for isolated older people.
