The city of Wiesbaden is participating in the nationwide Action Week Against Loneliness from Monday through Friday, June 22–26. Under the motto “You Belong,” the Department of Senior Services at the Office of Social Work, together with numerous partners, is hosting a diverse program for people of all ages. The goal is to foster connections, strengthen community, and raise public awareness of the issue of loneliness.

Over the next few days, the program will include, among other things, breakfast gatherings in the city’s neighborhoods, an intergenerational brunch, a guided tour of the Fasanerie, game afternoons, a storytelling café, and a “thinking café” with bingo. A stroll through Biebrich Castle Park with coffee and cake at the Martin Hörner Center, as well as a “Community Market,” round out the program. The “Community Marketplace” at the Galatea Park in Biebrich invites visitors to learn about local initiatives and support services offered by civil society. 

The action week is supported by a broad network of welfare associations, social organizations, and other stakeholders in Wiesbaden’s civic society. These include, among others, the Diakonie, the Workers’ Welfare Association (AWO), the Maltese Order, the Johanniter, the Hospice Association, and the Alzheimer’s Association.
