May Cité Seniors
https://www.geneve.ch/cite-seniors#
The result of a collaboration between Cité Seniors, the Dance Festival, and the Pavillon ADC, ten workshops brought together twenty seniors around dance, creation, and sharing. On May 8th, the participants will present their work at the Dance Festival.
The public will then take over the dance floor for an evening of “Friday, I’ve Got Dancing!”
Dance, both an art form and a movement, fosters social connection, well-being, self-confidence, and the joy of movement. This initiative also highlights the importance of supporting access to culture at all ages.

April Cité Seniors
https://www.geneve.ch/cite-seniors#
The City of Geneva intends to fully value the role and involvement of seniors in the city. In the Vermont, Grand-Pré, and Beaulieu districts, it has launched, in partnership with the Hospice Général’s senior center, a participatory process to support the creation of an association by and for seniors. This initiative reflects a strong political will: to support participation, strengthen local solidarity, and recognize the essential contribution of older adults to the community. Because together, we are building a more egalitarian and inclusive city.
