The Department of Social Welfare participates in the delivery of the XUROAR game to Menorca’s residential and day centres

The game aims to provide recreational and stimulating activities that promote the overall well-being of the group, attending to the needs of dependent people and including the maintenance of mental and emotional health. Games like this offer a unique opportunity to meet these objectives in an accessible and engaging way.

It is a board game designed to sharpen players’ observation and visual acuity and encourage focused attention on a particular action, finding images related to Menorca’s festivals, horses, food, decoration and the different traditions of each village. ‘The word xuroar means to spy, to peek. In homage to the Menorcan words, which if we don’t preserve, they will be lost’, explains Carmen Reynés.

‘From the Department of Social Welfare we have supported and collaborated with this project, and we want to thank the work and enthusiasm of all the students and teachers who throughout the process have been involved with heart and soul to finally make this delivery of the game to the residential centres and day centres of Menorca,’ she concludes.
