On the occasion of the International Day of Older Persons – celebrated every year on October 1st following a 1990 resolution of the UN General Assembly – “Historical Walks” turns its gaze to aging and the many ways it shapes our lives.
We reflect on both the difficulties and the joys of what is often called the “third age,” and consider how we can truly stand beside our loved ones. Can old age become a time for tenderness, reconciliation, and even a simple “thank you” to those who raised us – with all their flaws and frailties?
Our guest, Dr. Sofia Skalidi, internist–geriatrician, shares her experience in the care of older people and guides us toward seeing this stage of life with deeper empathy and understanding.
The program is accompanied by songs filled with memory – songs that speak of the cycle of life, of time passing, and of the value of the present moment.
