FORUM

The theme of the Forum is “Balance, health and independent way of living in the Golden Age”.

Participants in the forum will become acquainted with the role of meaningful activities for strengthening and preserving the health of older adults. A conceptual framework for an occupational therapy program specially designed for seniors in the Burgas region will be presented. The participants of the forum will have the opportunity to get acquainted with the practice of Panneurthymia (a system of gymnastic-musical exercises). The aim of Panneurthymia is to improve and maintain health, and to stimulate the harmonious development of the individual’s personality, human abilities, emotions, and attitudes towards life, by achieving harmony with nature (the universe, the cosmos). Moderators: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Zlatka Dimitrova – University “Prof. Dr. Asen Zlatarov”, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Petya Stefanova – University “Prof. Dr. Asen Zlatarov” and students.
