Most seniors will tell you they feel younger than they are, and it’s with this indomitable spirit that seniors across the country are tackling Seniors Week 2017. It is widely acknowledged that as a society, we can learn so much from our senior population and draw on the breadth of experience honed from years of living life.

This week is jam-packed with events and special offers and across our country regions, seniors are embracing the theme for this year “Let’s do more together.”

Why not learn a new skill, teach children to swim, travel with friends old and new or take on a role volunteering.  Take a computer course and learn to demystify social media, or pick up information on volunteering to make this your most exciting year.

You could host your own event such as teaching yoga for seniors, or introducing tree-changers to the wonders of chook farming.  There are templates on the website to assist you when you register your event.

From art, music, entertainment and technology, to sport, recreation, health and good nutrition, there's a wealth of experiences to help stimulate your mind, reinvigorate your body and enrich your life.
