[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Dae-seok) announced on the 12th that it is operating the October cultural event of the Dementia Theme Park, "The Story of Fruits Dyed in Autumn Colors," at Omae Bulmang Healing Park within Pungam Sports Park.

This program, conducted for about 180 local residents including dementia patients and their families, expanded the number of participants by linking with nine nursing institutions in the district.

▲ Health clapping and warm-up exercises for dementia prevention ▲ Forest walks to feel autumn ▲ Sensory experiences by observing autumn fruits ▲ Various activities such as making bracelets and necklaces using fruits were also provided.

Participants will have a healing time to relieve stress and feel their five senses while walking through the park full of autumn colors under the guidance of a forest interpretation expert.

A representative of the Seo-gu Dementia Safety Center said, "We hope that dementia patients and their families could take a break from caregiving burdens and that elderly residents of nursing institutions, who have fewer opportunities for cultural experiences, could feel small happiness through outdoor programs," adding, "We will continue to operate the Dementia Theme Park cultural events and strive further to improve dementia awareness."
