The AFCS project aims to reduce the effects of Covid-19 on the elderly and vulnerable population, especially the loneliness and isolation suffered during the pandemic, through high-impact musical and artistic actions.
During its implementation, a minimum of 96 young people are involved in twelve “Volunteer Team Projects” over a period of 36 months, in which local musicians are supported in the creation of swing bands. The main goal is to supporting these musical groups to play in old people’s homes and other institutions for persons in a vulnerable situation.
AFCS aims to fight against nos-desired loneliness and the effects it produces on human beings, such as an increase in dementia, reduction of mobility or depression, with the resulting situations of dependency that this creates.
Partners commit to implement the different good practices agreed during the Project in a simple and effective way. In this respect, AFCS aims to train young people involved in the subject matter of the project to subsequently act, either on a voluntary action or through formal jobs, in the care of people in a vulnerable situation due to unwanted loneliness.
