Valuing seniors and raising awareness in society
Created in 1951, Blue Week aims to highlight the place of the elderly, their contribution to social, cultural and economic life, but also their difficulties.
By combining practical workshops, festive moments and spaces for reflection, this event illustrates a conviction: aging is not a hindrance, but a wealth to be shared. _Vx
