Teacher, Claudia Bal\u00e1zc, a specialist psychologist from Social Services, concentrates on cognitive processes, memory techniques, concentration, language and mental agility with her group.<br \/>\nAna Garc\u00eda highlighted the town\u2019s concern for the town\u2019s seniors, a sector of the population which is on the increase. For this reason, the Council have set out to offer different initiatives that focus on improving quality of life and promote greater autonomy to give day to day self-sufficiency.<br \/>\nAs part of the Council\u2019s programme there are also Adult Education and Craft Classes, some of which are targeted particularly at those who may have had little opportunity to study in their youth. There are also organised trips to enjoy some quality leisure time in groups, with a designated Senior Centre which acts as a meeting point for regular dances, functions and a range of other recreational activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moj\u00e1car Council, in conjunction with Almeria Provincial Council and the Community Social Services, is running an Active Aging programme for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":10263,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[34,32,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualidad-en","category-news","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/devmojacar.talleragencia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/devmojacar.talleragencia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/devmojacar.talleragencia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devmojacar.talleragencia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devmojacar.talleragencia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10271"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/devmojacar.talleragencia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10273,"href":"https:\/\/devmojacar.talleragencia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10271\/revisions\/10273"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devmojacar.talleragencia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/devmojacar.talleragencia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devmojacar.talleragencia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devmojacar.talleragencia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
