Since the beginning of the year, we've been focusing on our physical fitness, so it's time to focus on our mental well-being! We invite all seniors to participate in a new series with trainer Konrad Kocjan, who will teach you how to easily improve your memory. The regular sessions begin on February 1st.
We invite you to the Local Activity Center Plac Grunwaldzki for a series of classes aimed at people in late adulthood, during which we will exercise our minds, reflexes, and communication skills. Under the guidance of Konrad Kocjan, we will learn various methods of memory maintenance, which can be used independently at home or with friends or grandchildren. A pinch of theory and plenty of opportunities for experimentation.
We accept registration for classes in two ways:
- by phone (71) 757 15 87 – Monday to Friday from 12:00 to 16:00
- via the online application form: bit.ly/TRENINGIpamieciZAPISYPlease note: The list of participants is full – registration is only possible on the reserve list!
Participation in the meetings is free, and the only requirement is prior registration. Participation in the series constitutes acceptance of the following regulations: bit.ly/TRENINGpamieciREGULATIONS.
Class schedule:
- February 1, 2023, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM Warm-up for the mind, body, and relationships – we get to know each other, warm up our memory, imagination, and bodies. We develop principles for supporting memory – in our heads and in our spaces.
- February 8, 2023, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM "It's on the tip of my tongue..." – we explore the parts of the brain responsible for words and communication. We practice remembering words using mnemonics. We play word games that stimulate our attention, entertain, and invigorate us.
- February 15, 2023, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Remembering with Singing Voices – or, we indulge in music, poetry, and songs, and travel through time. We learn how this stimulates our memory and body. What is the role of music, art, and memories in caring for the mind?.
- February 22, 2023, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM "...let's make a bet?" – surprising tricks that use reflexes and observation skills, which train our attention, memory, and motor skills… and – will help you surprise others. 🙂
- February 29, 2023, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM Laughter is good for your health – including your memory and mind. Jokes, anecdotes, trivia, and improvised comedy are ways to train and nurture your memory.
Meetings will be held every Thursday from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the headquarters in the Local Activity Center Plac Grunwaldzki OD NOWA (in the courtyard at ul. Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej 63a, 1st floor).
