Longest coffee table in the neighborhood against loneliness

The district councilor for social affairs and civil services, Carsten Spallek, informs about the upcoming week of action "Together from the loneliness", which will take place from June 17th to 23rd, 2024. As part of this action week, the municipal meeting place “Spandauer Straße 2” in cooperation with the “More Mitte” meeting place on June 22 from 2 p.m. invites you to the “longest coffee table in the neighborhood”. Contacts should be linked over coffee and cake and the sense of community should be strengthened.

Such events are of great importance, as the social councilor Carsten Spallek emphasizes. Loneliness affects people of all ages and the coffee table offers a way to find a connection, exchange ideas and spend a good time together. Encounter sites such as the mentioned are places where people come together, support themselves and find a way out of loneliness.

In the context of this action week you can historically see that loneliness is a widespread social problem that can occur in different phases of life. Older people in particular are often affected by loneliness because they are often restricted in their mobility and have lost family members or friends. Events such as the “longest coffee table of the neighborhood” can help to address this problem and promote social connections.

In the following table, relevant information is summarized on the topic:

| —————- | —————— | ——————————— |
