Kuwait City, Kuwait – 1 November, 2020:  Entering its fifth season this year, Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre is proud to announce the start of its innovative health and fitness series targeted at the community’s 50+ age group. ‘Sanad’ remains the only senior citizens programme of its kind in Kuwait that nurtures their skills and abilities within an inclusive and thriving environment. 

 

As a community-driven cultural institution, Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre’s educational initiative presents transformational learning experiences by enabling meaningful social bonds through health-related and recreational workshops. With the ongoing COVID-19 crisis and the need to remain isolated for the safety of all, the Centre is committed to offering a positive space for Kuwait’s retired individuals and senior citizens to maintain their pyshical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

 

Embracing strong partnerships with likeminded entities, the Centre is continuing its long-standing collaboration with Daratma and Yadawi for the specialised yoga and art sessions, respectively. Art classes will include ‘Upcycling Home Decor with Decopatch’ and ‘Botanical Watercolors featuring native plants and flowers from the region while women aged 50+ can learn the basics of Hatha yoga alongside brief relaxation exercises.  Additionally, this season will include two new workshops. A gardening 101 session and a still life drawing session; the latter offered by our very own Fine Arts Centre. The variety of activities are designed to promote overall health and improve quality of life through the adoption of engaging and life-saving habits.

 

The sessions that can be accessed via zoom application, will continue until 30 November 2020. Participants have the choice to sign up for their preferred sessions on the Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Culture Centre Website. 

 

Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre is one the many projects developed by the Amiri Diwan to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and promote critical, creative, and interpretive thinking within Kuwaiti society through world-class exhibitions and educational public programmes.
