The workshops shall be based on the expertise of different professionals involved in different artwork forms (i.e. decoupage, candle making, creative writing and painting). The results of the workshops (art works, works of poetry and prose) will be presented at a public event to present results of their work with users. As part of the culturally creative activities in the project, the manager and assistants shall design and implement workshops for the active participation of users. Users can also participate in presentations of various books, articles, albums, film screenings and other types of video, photo or audio recordings related to the cultural and creative character of the project. Also, users are offered the opportunity to just have fun by participating in playing social and fun games or simple sports games.

The organizing of creative-cultural workshops shall lead primarily to to the improvement of the quality of life of old people, improving their general psycho-physical and social-economic status and reducing poverty among this population. It also affects the reduction of the feeling of isolation, abandonment and rejection from society, a phenomenon that is increasingly present in modern society and is the main problem of seniors.

The project lasts from January 1, 2024 to December 2025. The project is financed by Gustav Adolf Werk from Germany.
