Health- and Inclusion-related seminars
The participants organized some Health- and Inclusion-related seminars or young volunteers at Diakonie Bremen with several gymnastic, climbing, peer education and healthy eating activities!
Health and Inclusion need Easy Language!
Health and Inclusion need Easy Language! Everyone who wants to talk about healthy living, sport and good nourishment must be able to make him- or herself understood. Therefore, as part of the Social Inclusion Health intiative, Diakonie Bremen arranged a Trainers' Training to introduce the concept of Easy Language useful in communication with persons with mental and learning impairments as with any other set of people not used to complicated language structures. And one must not fall into childrens language structures! Under guidance from the ´"Büro für Leichte Sprache" run by the charitiy Organisation Lebenshilfe Bremen, this one-day training was done with great success at Friedehorst Foundation.

The group participated in the traditional Cardboard Boat Race on the Bremen river Lesum. With their pirate duck boat "Hein Fiedi" they made the first place :-) in the combined classification of speed and creativity of the boat. Congratulations!
