Rio Grande.- As part of the May Revolution anniversary celebrations, young people attending municipal youth spaces joined older men and women in the city to celebrate the nation together. The club, which bears the name “Between Youth and the Elderly,” is being held for the second year in a row, and aims to create a space for activities that strengthen ties between different generations, and appreciate our traditions and identity.
The young people who attended the workshops offered in the municipality’s youth spaces were received, with great support, by the elderly who participate in the activities of the General Directorate for Elderly Care.
The concert was held at Espacio Joven located in the AGP neighborhood, where boys and girls from the guitar, violin and singing workshops enjoyed musical performances; Those in the kitchen got to work and entertained the seniors with exemplary meals.

These are moments that “not only strengthen bonds and strengthen our identity, but also build community.”
