Inclusion celebrated: International School in Sindelfingen receives price!

Sindelfingen, Deutschland - The “Campus Mensch” cooperation award was awarded to the International School of Stuttgart, Sindelfingen Campus, and its committed teacher Pam Grimes for the Middle Years Program Language & Literature. This prize, which will be awarded for the eighth time this year, honors the successful cooperation between companies and organizations that are committed to the inclusion of people with disabilities. As the Südwestdeutsche Bote , the award ceremony at the Sindelfingen campus took place, with district administrator Roland Bernhard and Andrea Stratmann, the managing director of GWW, accepted the honor.

Inclusion, an issue that is becoming increasingly important in today's society, is also evident in the activities that are recognized as part of the cooperation award. The International School of Stuttgart, who teaches more than 900 students from over 45 nations, has launched an intensive exchange program that aims at reducing barriers and fear of contact. The activities include sports days, plays, handicrafts, handicrafts as well as diversity day and visits to farms. The "GWW Friends", a group of students with different disadvantages, are an integral part of everyday school life, which promotes new friendships and contacts.

The campus human

The Mensch Campus itself is a network of six social companies in the Stuttgart region, the aim of which is to enable people with disadvantages to equivalent access to education and jobs. The merger includes the companies GWW, FEMOS gGmbH, the Campus Mensch and 1a Foundation. These are committed to considering individual needs and creating permeable transitions that ensure holistic support from training to old age. GWW GmbH, which has been working for over 50 years, has achieved success in the integration of people with disabilities through the use of modern technologies.

A look at social policy shows how important the participation of people with disabilities in our society is. This is considered social law in Germany. The Basic Law has had a ban on disadvantage due to disability since 1994. In addition, the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabilities was put into force in 2009, which promotes self-determination and participation in society. Facilities such as the International School of Stuttgart play a central role by actively implementing these principles.

a sign of social responsibility

The award ceremony should not only honor the excellent work of the International School of Stuttgart, but also motivate other companies and organizations to work more for social responsibility. The keynote speakers emphasized the tremendous importance of encounters and exchange in order to promote inclusion and to improve understanding of accessibility. "We have an exemplary example of inclusion here," said District Administrator Roland Bernhard and praised the school's initiative.

Overall, it can be seen that projects such as the “Campus Mensch” cooperation price and the activities of the International School of Stuttgart send a clear signal: Inclusion is not just a challenge, but an opportunity for our society to live diversity and give everyone the opportunity to find their place. The human campus and his partners impressively show that a future can be designed through cooperation and commitment.
