A group of 14 people from AFA Alicante, the Alicante Association of Relatives and Friends of Alzheimer's patients, visited the exhibition yesterday. Mayas. The enigma of the lost cities, the Restoration Workshop and the Visible Warehouse. This initiative is part of the second edition of the "MARQ: museums and memory" programme developed by the Accessibility Unit of the CV Marq Foundation, a collaboration project with this NGO that includes a wide range of activities, visits and workshops for users both in the museum facilities and at AFA's own headquarters. The Alzheimer's Association of Alicante aims to meet the multiple needs of people with Alzheimer's disease, as well as those of their family carers, respecting their dignity and rights.
Both the Marq Foundation and AFA Alicante understand museums as open, therapeutic and transformative spaces, fulfilling their social and educational role, contributing to improving the quality of life of people suffering from some kind of illness or social rejection, with specific programmes, as in this case the programme Marq. Museum and Memory.
