STEM workshops
The grant regards the implementation of a series of interactive STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics) workshops in Open Protection Centers for the Elderly (OPCEs) for the cultivation of knowledge and skills, cognitive empowerment and creative activities for the elderly. It is estimated that the program will reach an estimated 100 elderly in the Attica region.
