Blue Week

The third edition of Blue Week will take place from 8 to 14 October. It is aimed at all seniors over the age of 65. Blue Week is a national event driven by a genuine ethical approach. The aim is to promote all actions that combat social and relational isolation, as well as loss of independence. Blue Week is an opportunity to take a completely different look at ageing. It is also a very effective way of creating a dynamic of encounters, exchanges and sharing in a joyful and cheerful atmosphere. The national theme is ‘Ageing, a force for sharing’.
