Life Habitat Congress

  Date:
 Type: Congress
 Line of Knowledge: 
 Location: Valladolid

Our well-being is also affected by the environment, both indoors and outdoors, and by our connection to nature. The buildings in which we live and work, as well as the environments in which we move, affect our health, well-being, ability to work, creativity and social skills. It is therefore essential that professionals in the housing and social and health care sectors listen to each other, engage in an enriching dialogue, an exchange of visions and knowledge that focuses on what matters most: people.

Rethinking the social role of ageing in the framework of COVID-19

  Date:
 Type: Webinar
 Line of Knowledge: 
 Location: Online

According to the data published so far, the pandemic caused by COVID-19 has severely affected older people, especially those living in residential centres. The vulnerability and poor prognosis of the disease in this population group has led to the implementation of more restrictive preventive measures of confinement, isolation and social distancing than in any other group, accompanied by ageist attitudes that are determinant in essential issues such as treatment or access to services by older people.

  Date:
 Type: Congress
 Line of Knowledge: 
 Location: Online

This is the second virtual congress organised by the SEGG and we are doing so with the experience gained at the first virtual congress, which served as a learning experience, and with the commitment to increase the number of participants and the scientific level of the first meeting.

Although we are looking forward to holding congresses again that allow the physical presence of the congress participants, which always stimulates human contact and makes professional contact easier, the situation of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in our country obliges us to continue working virtually.
