Experience community, make connections
ZWAR stands for 'Between Work and Retirement' and is aimed at people who want to consciously, actively, and collectively shape their new life phase. The focus is on new connections, mutual support, and respectful coexistence in an open, age-appropriate atmosphere.
Space for ideas and personal interests
The group develops its program together. Creative projects, cultural activities, discussions, and joint ventures arise based on the wishes of the participants. This strengthens social participation, well-being, and the feeling of belonging.
Senior-friendly and barrier-free planned
