GENERATION-BRIDGE

experienced handycrafters pass on their skills to young men who need a second chance to find their place in society - PATINA builds that bridge

TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG

many men past their professional life are lonely - even if they live with someone

many young men are stressed and overwhelmed with a world that seems to have no safe future for them. PATINA brings them together to reach a common goal.

FULFIL YOUR DREAM

Men need dreams, visions a goal, a challenge in order to grow over their shadows and doubts, to find their strength and discover who they really are. PATINA shows them how to fulfil a dream - so they can create their own.

The dream

in our garage, experienced mechanics and young and clever men begin establishing workshops and start carefully restoring one of those legendary swiss postbuses from 1964 . Working together on a project - a bond is formed - the elder becomes a mentor.

 

With their strengths united, they transform the old bus into a cool and cosy men's café where conversations about important topics in men's lifes can be elaborated.

 

Talking about emotions and relationships are an integral part of this journey -

for every man involved, me included.

the Vision

Bring generational exchange back into our society.

Foster what makes us human -  awaken creativity, fulfill our dreams, real lived emotions, honest care, social responsibility

 

 

awakening the curiosity, spirit of passion and belief in one's capacities will start the fire in the hearts of these men and new projects will be born in their hearts. Together we will bring them to life. Meaning, purpose and fulfillment bring deep happiness not only in these men's lives but in those of their environments as well. 

We will establish more men's-working places to catch more dreams in more men.
