The Narinan Choir is a choir for people with Parkinson's and their companions. We invite you to sing with us in an open rehearsal, to experience the health benefits of singing and making music with a choir. You'll also learn more about how and why singing can help people with Parkinson's. We sing to work on voice and speech, but above all, to accompany each other and enjoy it. It's a therapeutic choir facilitated by a music therapist. You don't need to know music to sing, you don't need to sing to come; everyone is welcome.

The Desvetllem la memòria workshops at the Museu del Ter are a participatory historical photography initiative that promotes the documentation and recovery of the collective memory of the local past. In this edition, the project focuses on the Casals-Gràcia school in Manlleu, which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary. During the sessions, participants contribute photographs related to the school and its surroundings, which are digitized and documented collectively. This process allows the identification of significant people, spaces, activities and moments, generating a shared visual archive that enriches the Museum's documentary collection. The workshop encourages the active involvement of neighbors and former students, who contribute with their memories and knowledge to reconstruct the daily history of the educational center. Desvetllem la memòria is a cultural and community dynamization tool that highlights domestic photographic heritage and oral memory, strengthening the link between the territory and the people who inhabit it.

Samba is much more than a dance: it's an explosion of rhythm, expression, and community that comes to us from the heart of Brazil, with African roots. Dancing samba is fun because it connects you with the music, makes your body move freely, and invites you to share your energy with others. It also improves physical fitness, reduces stress, strengthens social ties, and stimulates creativity. Led by: Vinicius Rosa, professor of the UVic-UCC Physiotherapy degree program, born in Brazil, with samba in his veins.
