CULTURAL ACTIVITIES FOR SENIOR CITIZENS — CULTURE AND HEALTH
The immense impact of cultural activities on health cannot be denied. We all need cultural stimuli during all life phases wherever we live in order to improve our quality of life.
Modern research has provided us with proof that almost every cognitive function is involved when we play, listen to and create music. Our neural complexity is alerted when we dance. Taking a walk in nature or viewing pictures of nature can improve our directed-attention ability, which is crucial in successful cognitive and emotional functioning.
Well aware of these facts the City of Umeå started a project called “Cultural Activities for Senior Citizens - Culture and Health" in 2000. We provide, promote and develope invigorating, exciting and fun programmes for senior citizens often through cooperation between intergenerational programmes.
