Including vacation for everyone: funding and exciting offers!

Templin, Deutschland - What can we expect from the summer vacation? The Stephanus Foundation brings a breath of fresh air to the holiday planning for children and adolescents in Brandenburg. With the “Holiday Inclusive” project, the foundation would like to ensure that all young people between the ages of 10 and 21, whether with or without impairment, can take part in exciting holiday offers. Inclusion is not only very important during the holidays, but also implemented very practical. The initiative is funded by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MBJS) Brandenburg and offers organizers extensive support.

funding and training for organizers

The project is primarily aimed at the organizers of leisure activities and not directly at the parents of impaired children. However, these can benefit from the advantages. The provision of funding gains additional supervisors who ensure qualified care for the participating children. Organizers can easily submit funding applications on the website ferien- Inclusive.org . There are also free, certified training for supervisors who are offered in Templin, Berlin or as in-house training.

A special highlight are the training under the direction of Peter Wohlleben, who is in a wheelchair himself. He brings his experiences and skills into the training of future inclusion helpers, which is an exciting and educational experience for everyone involved. "Inclusion assistant training is well received and we are already planning your further development," reveals project manager Stephanie Tiedig, who trains in parallel to the specialist for inclusion and integration pedagogy.

incoming activities and community experiences

Including holiday camps not only offer exciting programs for children and adolescents, but also promote social skills and teamwork. The ideas range from sports and media to art and craft to dance and music. A propos activities: You are designed to find a respectful and appreciative environment - not only the self -confidence of the participants is strengthened, but also the reduction of prejudices and barriers is actively promoted. This is not only good for the soul, but also helps to establish new friendships and reduce social isolation.

The accommodations and facilities are barrier -free and offer individual adjustments for participants with special needs. In this way, inclusion is lived as a social goal - it is not only about participation, but also about common experiences that are accessible to all children and adolescents. At a time when social isolation is a big topic, such offers are more important than ever.

parents can contact project partners and organizers such as the General Disabled Association Land Brandenburg e.V. or the environmental center three oaks to find suitable leisure activities for their children. This not only increases the holiday offering more diverse, but also the chance of an unforgettable and enriching holiday experience.

If you want to benefit from the diverse offers, find more information and support on the websites of the foundation and on Ferien-camps.de , which also provides including holiday offers. A nice step in the right direction when it comes to enabling all children exciting weeks in summer - without restrictions and with a lot of joy!
