"Chatting in the Library" in Vienna-Simmering Continues

In the fall of 2024, the Vienna Health Promotion - WiG, in collaboration with the libraries of the City of Vienna, launched the free event format "Chatting in the Library" in the 11th district as part of the "Healthy Districts" program. Starting October 3, 2025, the meetings will take place for the third time at the Leberberg Library and the Simmering Education Center.

Joy of Storytelling and Meeting New People from the Neighborhood at "Chatting in the Library"

"We are very pleased that we can offer our project 'Chatting in the Library' for the third time starting in October. The library is a good place for meeting and exchange. And the people who come to 'Chat' bring their own topics they want to discuss - that's a good sign," says Dennis Beck, Managing Director of the Vienna Health Promotion - WiG. The WiG, in collaboration with the City of Vienna Libraries, enables an informal meeting for exchange and conversation. "Chatting in the Library" invites interested people of all age groups, with a particular focus on older people, as loneliness is common in this group.

"Chatting in the Library" is an offer for everyone who likes to tell stories or listen to others while getting to know new people from their surroundings. The meetings are led by experienced moderators from the Sorgenetz association. They take place from October 3 to December 18, 2025, alternating on Thursdays and Fridays at the Leberberg Library and the Library in the Simmering Education Center. All participants are invited to suggest topics according to their own interests and actively participate.
