🎄The day after Christmas, while the city was still slowly waking from the holiday calm, a cheerful group of enthusiasts chose oars over rest. On December 26, 2025, despite the chilly and overcast weather, St. Stephen’s Day Rowing took place at Zagreb’s Jarun Lake as part of the GoldAge project – a multisport initiative promoting physical activity for adults aged 60+.

🚣There may have been no sunshine, but the warmth of community spirit more than made up for it. Participants – all 60+ – proved that neither cold weather nor age is a barrier to movement, laughter, and shared experiences.

🧡 GoldAge, co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme, is designed to promote healthy ageing and social inclusion through regular, adapted multisport activities. With the support of trained coaches and volunteers, the project empowers older adults to stay active, connected, and confident in their golden years.

❄️🚣‍♂️ Štefanje na Jarunu? Zašto ne – veslima protiv zime! Dan nakon Božića nismo ostali pod dekama – naši 60+ heroji iz projekta GoldAge izašli su na Jarun i veslali! Bez obzira na sivo nebo i hladnoću, duh zajedništva i pokret pobijedili su sve vremenske (i blagdanske) izgovore. 🧤💪 GoldAge promiče zdravo starenje kroz sport, a ova zimska avantura pokazala je da aktivan život ne prestaje s godinama dapače, tada tek postaje zanimljiv! ✨ 📍Projekt je sufinanciran kroz Erasmus+ program Europske unije. ❄️🚣‍♂️ St. Stephen’s Day on the lake? Why not – rowing into winter! The day after Christmas, while most were curled up indoors, our 60+ heroes from the GoldAge project took to the waters of Jarun! Grey skies and chilly air were no match for their spirit, energy, and love of movement. 🧤💪 GoldAge promotes healthy ageing through sport – and this winter adventure proved that staying active doesn’t stop with age. In fact, that’s when the fun really begins! ✨ 📍The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. #GoldAge #activeageing #nevertooold #jarun #rowing

Active ageing is not a slogan — it is something you build, week by week, on the pitch.

Fondazione S.S. Lazio 1900 ETS was proud to support the Over 60 event, organised together with ACSI and Lazio Calcio A8, celebrating sport as a powerful driver of wellbeing, social connection and community participation.

This initiative stems directly from the EU-financed GOLDAGE project – “Training for Active Ageing”, funded under Erasmus+ Sport, which promotes accessible and inclusive physical activity for adults aged 60+. The project brings together a strong European partnership within the EMCA network, led by Levski Sport for All (Bulgaria), with HAŠK Mladost (Croatia) and Fondazione S.S. Lazio 1900 ETS (Italy).

Seeing the concept translated into a real event, with teams, smiles, and an extraordinary sense of unity, is exactly what GOLDAGE is about: supporting healthy ageing through sport, and keeping communities active across generations.

A heartfelt thank you to ACSI, Lazio Calcio A8, and all participants for making this day so meaningful. 💙⚽️
