Details of Major Brain Awareness Week Events/Activities:
The 7th UFMA Brain Week was held in 2022 in a hybrid way, from March 14th to 18th. The central theme presented was: The Social Brain. This year the activities were carried out in the form of Conversation Circles, through videoconferencing using the Meet application or in person. Although we are still living under the fluctuation of the pandemic, we managed to satisfactorily reach the audience for which the Conversation Wheels were intended, both those carried out in a virtual way and those in person. The target audience of this edition were the elderly.

Feedback & Keys to Success
How do you feel BAW participation benefited your organization and the local community?
As we already have works carried out over the years with the different groups of elderly people in our city, as in the courses at the University of the Third Age, we had no difficulties in adding public to this edition of the week of the brain. We have great results with conversations mainly about brain nutrition, memory and physical exercise.
In other words, an edition of the week of the brain is one of the events of the year
