Spring Conference: 30 Years of the ESU – Active Citizenship: A Life-Long Engagement

The European Seniors’ Union will mark its 30th anniversary with a special Spring Conference in Bratislava, Slovakia, on 19–20 March 2025. This celebratory event will take place in collaboration with the Association of Christian Seniors of Slovakia (ZKS) and will bring together members for two days of reflection, inspiration, and future planning.

Under the theme “Active Citizenship: A Life-Long Engagement”, the conference will highlight the vital role older generations play in fostering active and engaged societies. It will also reflect on three decades of achievements and commitment to promoting the voice of senior citizens across Europe.

This milestone event is the first in a series of gatherings planned for 2025 to celebrate the ESU’s 30th anniversary. Attendees can look forward to insightful discussions, networking opportunities, and contributions from senior leaders and experts. Join us in Bratislava to honour the past, embrace the present, and shape the future of active citizenship
