SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE 18 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Cabildo of Tenerife, through the public society Sinpromi, has launched the cultural programme ‘Tardes de Película’. This initiative is part of the Islénior framework and consists of a series of 14 film screenings aimed at the senior population of the island.
The programme will be complemented with cultural mediation activities, discussions, and talks specifically designed for the elderly residents of the island, as stated in a press release by the Cabildo de Tenerife.
Launch Event
The presentation of this initiative took place on Thursday at Multicines Tenerife, attended by the Councillor for Social Action, Águeda Fumero, the Managing Director of Sinpromi, Adal García, the President of the Film Talks Association, Ramón González, and film analyst Fernando Iturrate.
Main Objectives
Councillor Águeda Fumero emphasised that the primary aim of the programme is to “ensure the right to access quality culture for older individuals,” fostering “stable spaces for meeting, coexistence, and inclusion, which help alleviate situations of unwanted loneliness.”
She highlighted the “value” of this project within the policies dedicated to the senior population of the island, placing the “emotional and cognitive wellbeing” of older people at the forefront of public policy. She noted that “cinema is not solely regarded as passive entertainment but as a powerful tool to stimulate cultural memory, promote dialogue, and combat social isolation.”
