Open day: Pankow celebrates together for seniors!
On October 1, 2025, the day of the older person took place in the Pankow district. On this special day, the meeting places of the Pankow Office opened their doors to provide a variety of offers for the interested public. This initiative aims to promote community, participation and mutual support among the older citizens. Visitors had the opportunity to take part in movement and creative offers, to find out more about aging and to make new contacts over coffee and cake. Details on the program, addresses and contacts of the meeting places can be viewed on the website of the senior citizens' service of the social welfare office www.berlin.de/ba-pankow/aeltere, How berlin.de reported.
