Community-led health and cultural events have been organized in Venezuela and Ecuador to promote physical activity and regional traditions.

In Venezuela, initiatives began with the ‘Ocumare 5K por tu Corazón’ walk in Ocumare de la Costa de Oro to promote heart health. This was followed by the ‘Corazón 2026’ walk in Aragua, which saw over 300 participants, including medical professionals, walking to Carlos Raúl Villanueva Park to raise awareness for cardiovascular health during World Heart Week.

In Ecuador, cultural and wellness activities were highlighted through the ‘Martes de Folklore: Ritmo y Tradición’ in Loja, featuring traditional Andean dance groups. Subsequently, the Festival del Adulto Mayor was held at Jipiro Park in Loja, utilizing the Actívate program to provide senior citizens with dance, functional exercises, and competitions.
