On December 9, 2024, together with partner organizations from Bulgaria, Turkey and
Lithuania, we held the first online meeting on the project “Environment Reintegration and
Awareness-Based Art Therapy for Rural Elderly”, co-funded by the EU under the Erasmus+
program.
MC Medical LOT is a partner in the project, which aims to:
- Promote active ageing: Encourage elderly individuals in rural areas to remain physically, mentally, and socially active through participation in art therapy sessions.
- Foster creativity and artistic expression: Provide elderly participants with opportunities to engage in creative activities, such as painting, drawing, and sculpting, to express themselves and explore their artistic potential.
- Enhance well-being and quality of life: Improve the mental, emotional, and social well-being of elderly individuals by offering a therapeutic outlet for self-expression and emotional processing.
- Promote environmental awareness: Utilize recycled materials and natural elements in art therapy sessions to raise awareness about environmental conservation and sustainability.
- Combat social isolation: Create a supportive and inclusive environment where elderly participants can connect with their peers, share experiences, and build meaningful relationships.
