About the Project

The baby boomer generation is retiring — and the transition is harder than it looks. Loss of professional identity, social isolation, and lack of preparation for this new chapter are real challenges shared across Europe.

BB AWA was created to respond to these challenges by providing sustainable, enriching opportunities for adults aged 60+ to stay active, connected and confident.

"You didn't come this far to just sit down. Unless it's to learn something new online — that's fine too."
