The search for knowledge never gets old, and the Instituto Federal Catarinense (IFC) – Campus Camboriú knows this. Until March 19th, registrations are open for free courses aimed especially at people over 60, a commendable initiative that promises to revolutionize educational inclusion in the elderly. With a diversity of areas covered, these courses are a bridge to cultural and social enrichment.
The Center for the Study of Elderly Persons (NEPI) of the Federal Institute, under the leadership of coordinator Flávia Fernandes, is at the forefront of this transformative movement. Offering courses in the areas of IT, languages, health, and much more, NEPI not only opens doors to learning but also promotes the social integration of a segment that is often underestimated by society. “It’s more than education; it is a celebration of life and the ability to learn at any age”, says Fernandes.
