About the volunteering opportunity
A volunteering offer from MIT-MENSCH e.V:
In 2000, Angela Beyer initiated the wheelchair dance group "Rock & Wheels", which still trains weekly with great pleasure and takes part in wheelchair dance festivals in Berlin and other federal states. The wheelchair dance event "Danze Days Berlin", which is attended by around 120 participants from various federal states, was held for the first time in 2011 and was repeated in 2013, 2015 and 2018 due to the great response and many volunteers. (danzedaysberlin.de) The Rock & Wheels dance group promotes new interpersonal contacts, special talents and, last but not least, an improved quality of life. It is particularly remarkable how much people with and without disabilities can learn from each other.
