History

The non-profit organization Between Us was established in 2013. It arose from the feeling that it is a great pity how the natural intergenerational ties in  they have been disappearing from society lately. Our goal is to connect generations, especially the youngest with  the oldest.  To k  these generations have found their way again and  and  children knew that old age was a natural part of life.  

"We try to ensure that no one has to worry about getting old, that old age is joyful and meaningful. I perceive old age as a phase of life when we pass on our wisdom, patience and kindness to future generations. The meetings of seniors with children, which we have been supporting among us for a long time, are full of energy and joy of life. "

(Tomáš Jirgl, founder of Between Us, ops)
