Other forms of ac­ti­vi­ties in­c­lu­de per­so­nal de­ve­lop­ment and me­mo­ry tra­ining (10 par­ti­ci­pants) as well as com­pu­ter work­shops (10 par­ti­ci­pants). The Cen­tre also ar­ran­ges cul­tu­ral outings (the la­test one was the scre­ening of “Anna Ka­re­ni­na”). High at­ten­dan­ce and the sa­tis­fac­tion of the se­nior mem­bers at­test to the im­por­tan­ce of such forms of sup­port.
