Project Background
Initiated in March, the project is driven by the Cabildo of Fuerteventura through its Social Action Department, in partnership with the Neurolympic Association and the island’s municipalities. Its goal is to promote active aging, wellbeing, and positive engagement for people aged 60 and over.
By placing seniors at the heart of community life, the island demonstrates that experience and vitality transcend age.
