The meetings of the respected 60+ community, which we have named #timeforyourself, are driven by the challenge of the times, not only of our present but also of the times before the war. The members of this group are elderly people who, due to life circumstances, have been left alone, but feel the need for communication, for a lively relationship in a circle of like-minded people.
Unfortunately, the elderly have also become hostages of time, having been forced to leave their homes. They do not want to leave their own country, and do not have the strength, and sometimes even the opportunity, to travel abroad, even if their children and grandchildren have moved to another country. In old age, it is more difficult to adapt to new conditions, countries, and languages.
The older generation of citizens is left alone with the acceptance of new realities, with emotions that overwhelm their feelings, with the reality they have to contact and live with.
At the #timeforyourself meetings, we share warmth and comfort, live communication, which is so lacking in old age, and create a relationship of family.
Each meeting is filled with an interesting program that helps to distract, switch focus, prevent the development of dementia, and maintain physical health.
