Tell us what you did during Active Aging Week to redefine the term "Active."
Active Aging Week was a fantastic celebration of health, wellness, and community engagement, featuring a wide range of activities that highlighted the vibrancy of older adults. One standout event was our day at the park, where attendees enjoyed a variety of activities and interactions with local vendors. Participants engaged in science lessons that sparked curiosity and emphasized the importance of lifelong learning. Journaling sessions provided a space for reflection and creativity, while discussions on the value of education later in life inspired many to pursue new interests. For those looking for physical activity, we offered line dancing and Tai Chi session, promoting movement and socialization. Additionally, we organized a sunset photography workshop, allowing individuals to capture the beauty of our park. The day concluded with a trip to a local high school boys soccer game, encouraging community spirit and intergenerational connections. Our collaboration with organizations such as Lakewood Police, the YMCA, Lakewood Library, and Cuyahoga Community College enriched the experience, showcasing the power of community support in promoting active aging week. Overall, it was a week filled with joy, learning, and connection. Already planning for next year!
