October 1st – International Day of Older Persons
Today we celebrate those who, throughout their lives, have left their mark, built paths, cared, taught, worked, dreamed...
We celebrate the experience that time brings, the memories that remain, and the stories that deserve to be heard.
We celebrate the experience that time brings, the memories that remain, and the stories that deserve to be heard.
Because each senior citizen carries with them a unique journey. A life made of moments, choices, challenges, achievements, and so many roles that helped build who they are today. It was thinking about these stories that this film was born.
“I used to be…” is a short journey through the memories and professions of some of the people who are part of our services.
Because before being former employees or users, they were professionals, fathers, mothers, partners, friends, neighbors… Today we celebrate their stories, their memories, and everything they are.
Happy International Day of Older Persons
