Celebration in Solingen: Diverse Perspectives at the Community Wellness Festival
The Gendertreff club in Solingen, a space for transcendent people, continues to make strides in fostering diversity and promoting open dialogue. Recently, they launched the "Green Card for Diversity" action, further solidifying their commitment to inclusivity.
As a hub for gender diversity and LGBTQ+ topics, Gendertreff organizes workshops, discussion groups, and events that educate participants, create a welcoming environment, and promote understanding. They collaborate with local schools, institutions, and other organizations to reduce prejudice in the wider community. Moreover, they offer resources and counseling for individuals exploring their gender identity or facing discrimination.
In addition to their regular activities, Gendertreff also hosts unique events such as the Transcendent People's Fair, a one-of-a-kind event in Europe, and the "Pathfinders - Puzzle Tours," introduced by Sandra-Janine Schneider at the Self-Help and Health Day. These initiatives aim to break down barriers, combat discrimination, and promote a culture of respect and open communication.
The senior safety advisory service, a community project between the city of Solingen, the Alliance for Safety in the Bergisch Land region, and the North Rhine-Westphalia police, also presented its work at the Self-Help and Health Day. The service offers individual advice on fraud, theft, and other safety issues, emphasizing that such incidents can be dignity-damaging and existence-threatening.
The Gendertreff's reach extends beyond Solingen, with self-help meetings taking place in Leverkusen and Düsseldorf. They also visit schools and universities to answer questions and promote their mission.
Notably, the self-help group for Multiple Sclerosis in Solingen, with over 60 members, collaborates with Gendertreff, offering sports activities three times a week for people with the condition, as reported by Andreas Lukosch, who is also involved with WMTV.
The Self-Help and Health Day, where many of these initiatives were showcased, took place at the Municipal Hospital Solingen, with a total of 40 self-help groups, clubs, and initiatives participating.
