At the Science Museum - MUSE of Trento from March to May 2025.
It is called "Circle of Science" and is the new muse project that, from March to May, will take care of the well-being, culture and active life of the participants, mainly people over sixty, or retired. A wide range of proposals that take advantage of the Monday afternoon, with the museum closed and a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, to stimulate the mind and the desire to know and create opportunities for socialising and continuous learning. The program consists of two parts, the first of which is more focused on well-being, with the proposal of some appointments designed to nourish the body, awaken the senses and take care of the mind. The second, of a scientific-cultural nature, proposes a cycle of meetings to explore the themes of nature, science and technology in an engaging and interactive way.
The progressive ageing of the population represents one of the great challenges of the 21st century and the latest OECD survey indicates that our country is, at European level, the one with the highest proportion of people over 65 years of age.
The relationship between cultural participation and longevity is now well established and demonstrated by a large body of evidence, studies and research that attest to the benefits of culture on health and well-being, in particular of older people, improving their sense of self-esteem and promoting social interactions.
In a nutshell, it seems that practicing an active and culturally engaged life is able to "extend life", as well as significantly improve it.
This is why the MUSE, in a similar way to what has already been developed for other sensitive population groups, ideas and proposes a cycle of meetings and guided tours ad hoc, stimulating and of sure interest to always stay... in step with the times.
