Steinm\u00fchle Marburg e.V. (Steinm\u00fchle) and the German Institute for the Blind (blista) are expanding and strengthening their collaboration in the area of sports programs for blind, visually impaired, and sighted students.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWith the partnership we entered into today, we are laying the groundwork to expand competitive sports programs at both schools and to demonstrate that children and young people with and without disabilities can compete on equal footing, even in competitive sports,\u201d explains Egon Vaupel, chairman of Steinm\u00fchle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe children and teenagers at our two schools have been participating in joint sports classes and activities for many years. The experiences have been consistently positive,\u201d explains blista Director Claus Duncker. \u201cIt\u2019s not pity or forced friendliness that makes the difference, but the desire to train together and work hard together\u2014with everyone and all the human emotions that go along with it: hopes, joy, disappointments, encounters, and friendships.\u201d <\/p>\n

The new alliance for inclusive competitive sports is built on a strong conceptual foundation. According to Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, children and adolescents have the right to an education that is geared toward the development of their whole personality. Both schools attach particular importance to the potential of sports for the personal development of their students. For many years, Steinm\u00fchle has been known for its excellent training conditions, particularly for high-performance rowing; blista serves as the state training center for judo and blind soccer, as well as the Paralympic training center for goalball. Starting this year, blista has also implemented a program that enables ambitious young athletes to pursue a successful individual academic path as part of a \u201cdual career\u201d while simultaneously supporting their development in competitive sports. <\/p>\n

Based on the experiences at both schools, sports bring young people together in an inclusive way and thus also shape the cultural life of our society.<\/p>\n
