Creu Roja Osona and Naura Fundació Caixa Manlleu have formalized an agreement to launch the Aula Oberta +80 project, an initiative in Manlleu to combat unwanted loneliness in individuals over 80 years old.

The collaboration between Creu Roja Osona and Naura Fundació Caixa Manlleu aims to promote dignified, active, and community-based aging, pooling efforts to address the needs of the elderly in the region, particularly in Manlleu.
The Aula Oberta +80 project seeks to combat unwanted loneliness, foster active aging, and create stable spaces for meeting, connection, participation, culture, and leisure for the elderly residents of Manlleu. It will involve individuals associated with the Espai Activa’t de Manlleu and Creu Roja Osona's programs.
Activities will be recreational, cultural, and participatory, designed to be accessible and enjoyable. They will include magic and clown shows, sea shanties, Christmas carols, body percussion, country, sevillanas, and humor, among others.
The events are scheduled for the last Tuesday of each month, starting on October 27th, from 4 PM to 6 PM. Participation is free and open to everyone.
The detailed program will be announced soon through the usual channels of Naura, Creu Roja Osona, and the Espai Activa’t de Manlleu.
