60 years of Volkshäuser Villach: celebrations, encounters and cultural diversity

In Villach, celebrations have been celebrated for six decades now, laughed and spent together. The seven adult houses in the city act as important social institutions that offer citizens space for diverse events. They not only enjoy great popularity, they are also an integral part of cultural life here.

Last Sunday, the adult houses were celebrated at a special open house to duly appreciate the 60th birthday of these facilities. In this festive framework, visitors had the opportunity to get to know the versatile offers and activities that have taken place in the adult houses in recent decades.

"This is promoted in these houses, be it through sporting activities or cultural events. We want to offer a place of exchange and encounter", describes Harald Sobe, the managing director of the responsible association.

The adult houses are open to the citizens in various parts of the city, including Perau, Auen, Landskron, Pogöriach, St. Magdalen, Völkendorf and Maria Gail. Whether for lectures, birthday parties or other events - the need for such social meeting points is constantly growing. Committed joint projects and the emphasis on social engagement are now more important than ever, as the many participants on the open day impressively demonstrated.

These institutions are of enormous importance at a time when social contacts and cultural participation are more in demand than ever. The solemn ceremony for the celebration of this anniversary will take place on Friday, December 13th, in the People's House Perau.
