About this trial
This project aims to enhance the intrinsic capacities of elderly individuals with mild cognitive impairment by promoting innovative activities based on the Montessori approach within the context of agricultural multifunctionality.
By selecting a rural environment with educational characteristics, we aim to involve individuals with mild cognitive deficits and their families in a personalized therapeutic journey. Through various activities, including horticulture, pet therapy, occupational therapies, sensory and food laboratories, we stimulate cognitive and motor skills, promoting a healthy and balanced lifestyle
