The Municipality of Calera de Tango stands out for carrying out various activities that promote participation of older adults, such as:
Recreational-cultural trips (since 2005), facilitating access to various destinations within and outside of our country, providing the opportunity for older people to see tourist attractions and existing services in the places they travel to.
The celebration of International Women’s Day has allowed the participation and inclusion of women of all ages and physical abilities, highlighting older adults who have enjoyed the show that has been prepared especially for them.
“Pasamos Agosto” is a recreational activity in which only seniors participate. There is a party with artistic presentations, dance and party supplies, and a healthy agape is delivered to all attendees.
It is worthwhile to mention the active participation of older people in thematic fairs organized by private companies that are developed in the sector of the third age.
Another activity is the Civic Military Parade consisting of an instance that increases active participation of senior organizations in civil society.
The celebration of an annual mass to commemorate the beginning of the month of the older adult is an event that allows a day of reflection and spirituality, after which a breakfast is given to older people allowing them to share a pleasant moment of camaraderie.
It is a tradition the participation year after year in the Provincial Championship of Cueca, day that allows to share with other communes in an environment of healthy competition and enriching culturally with our national dance represented by older couples.
