Prades hosted the 5th meeting of patients, families, and experts in retinoblastoma, an event full of learning, fun, and emotional moments for all participants. This annual gathering has become a key event for bringing together patients, families, and healthcare professionals to share experiences, knowledge, and best practices.
During the event, participants learned through talks and workshops, played in activities designed for children, shared personal and professional experiences, and connected emotionally with meaningful moments among families and medical teams.
This growing and increasingly close-knit group is characterized by deep roots, a strong trunk, and branches that value the truly essential things in life. The discussions and activities allowed everyone to reflect on the importance of community, resilience, and mutual support in the daily lives of families affected by retinoblastoma.
Highlighted activities included:
-
Interactive workshops for children, helping them learn about eye care and visual health through play.
-
Discussion sessions and expert talks, where families could ask questions and share experiences with specialized professionals.
-
Group dynamics, fostering emotional support and strengthening community bonds.
The next meeting will take place from October 23–25 next year, once again in the idyllic setting of El Xalet de Prades, where families and professionals will continue sharing experiences, knowledge, and moments of connection.
A special thanks to the team at the La Nineta dels Ulls Foundation and our collaborating partners: Xalet de Prades, Diputació de Tarragona, Vicky Catalan, La Roche Posay, and Giotto, for making this gathering possible and helping to build a stronger, more cohesive community.
This event demonstrates that beyond medical treatment, community, education, and the exchange of experiences are essential for the well-being of patients and their families.
