During last Thursday, at the Concordia Convention Center, the certificate delivery ceremony corresponding to the workshops held during 2025, organized by the Directorate of Cooperativism and Associativism and the Department of Senior Citizen Policies, took place. More than 300 retirees and pensioners participated in the meeting, which celebrated the effort, dedication, and learning achieved throughout the year.
Certificates were awarded to the older adults who participated in the workshops on yoga, cognitive stimulation, computer science, reading, alternative games, and various artistic proposals. In addition, in recognition of their commitment and professionalism, the workshop instructors received special distinctions for their work and for the support provided throughout the cycle.
Mayor Francisco Azcué highlighted the importance of strengthening spaces intended for older adults: “This meeting reflects the commitment of a community that understands that learning, sharing, and growing has no age. Our challenge is to continue generating opportunities and support so that each one of you can develop fully.”
For his part, the Director of Cooperativism and Associativism, Ariel Gorostegui, underscored the role of public policies in collective construction: “These workshops not only provide tools, but also strengthen bonds and participation. Seeing so many motivated people who are protagonists of their own path is an enormous satisfaction.”
Finally, the Head of the Department of Senior Citizen Policies, Gladys Portugal, celebrated the positive impact of the program: “Each workshop, each meeting, and each learning experience adds to a more active, healthier, and more supported life. This act demonstrates the value of betting on the inclusion and support of our older adults.”
The meeting reaffirmed the importance of continuing to promote actions that foster the well-being, autonomy, and participation of older adults in community life. Present were the Head of the Department of Social Economy, Miguel Parra, and the Director of Disability, Lic. Maximiliano Navarro Jaurena.
