Active in retirement: New opportunities for seniors in Marzahn-Hellersdorf!
The transition from working life to the post-professional phase opens up new opportunities for seniors to be active. The Marzahn-Hellersdorf district office, in collaboration with the Association of Replacement Funds e. V. launched a series of events aimed at providing valuable inspiration for planning retirement. This series complements the already available “Retirement Compass” brochure, which provides information about support and advice offers in the district. This brochure is available free of charge in citizens' offices, libraries and district centers and is aimed at everyone who wants to actively start a new phase of life, as berlin.de reports.
The events not only offer the opportunity for networking, but also space for exchange and discovery of personal strengths. Representatives of various institutions will provide information about a wide range of offerings in the areas of health, exercise, culture, education as well as advice and volunteer work. Councilor for Social Affairs Juliane Witt will also be on site to address the concerns of seniors in a personal conversation.
Stay active in retirement
The goal of this initiative is clear: seniors should be supported to stay active and discover new interests. Meaningful activities that promote both mental and physical activity are of central importance. This includes, for example, mentoring for the next generation or volunteer work, which is also highlighted by [seniorflex.de](https://www.seniorflex.de/magazin/10-sinnvolle-t%C3%A4tigkeiten-die-ihren-ruhestand- enrichen). Other useful activities include:
- Flexibles Arbeiten in Fachgebieten
- Bildung und Weiterbildung durch Kurse
- Kreatives Schaffen, wie Malen oder Musizieren
- Teilnahme an Naturschutzprojekten und Gartenarbeit
- Coaching oder Beratung für kleine Unternehmen
These activities not only promote physical and mental health, but also strengthen the social well-being of seniors and bring structure to their everyday lives. It is particularly important to promote social contacts and exchange with like-minded people.
Diverse employment opportunities
Activities should always be adapted to the individual needs of seniors in order to avoid overwhelming them. Support from relatives or group leaders can help to find suitable employment opportunities that offer both social interaction and promote cognitive skills. For example, sitting exercises or memory training are mentioned as valuable offers that increase well-being and prevent loneliness. This is supported by cureta.de, which highlights the importance of suitable activities for seniors.
The activities should bring joy to the seniors and bring a regular structure to their everyday lives. A flexible weekly plan can be of great benefit in improving the quality of life in old age.
In summary, retirement offers a valuable opportunity for new experiences and personal development. With the right support and a variety of offers, seniors can make this phase active and enriching.
