Ceremonial opening of our self-help group “Inclusion Meeting Werne – Barrier-free Participation”

On Friday, May 30, 2025, the time had finally come: Our self-help group "Inclusion Meeting Werne - Barrier-Free Participation" was officially opened! Many interested visitors, supporters, and committed people from the region celebrated this special day with us. ​

 

In a warm and open atmosphere, we were able to present our goals, ideas, and visions. The exchange was lively and clearly demonstrated: inclusion is a community effort that unites. ​

 

We are particularly proud that, despite very different disabilities, we demonstrated what we can achieve together. Everyone deserves the opportunity to contribute – and we experienced how much strength, creativity, and commitment lies in diversity. ​

 

A heartfelt thank you to all the helpers, supporters, and everyone who made it. You made this day something very special. ​

 

The following pictures and videos show impressions of this special launch. We would be delighted if you became part of our movement – ​​for more participation, visibility and togetherness in Werne.
