We would like to arrange reading mentorships.
We connect people who would like to read aloud with people who would like to be read to.
The sponsorships are open to everyone. We would like to arrange sponsorships especially for people with disabilities in residential groups. However, we are also open to requests from senior citizens' homes, residential homes or people or children from our neighbourhood.
The idea is to create a sponsorship where people meet regularly to read to each other.
We take over the mediation and the accompaniment of the reading sponsorship.
As the person reading aloud, you should meet regularly with your reading mentor and read aloud for about half an hour.
The literature is chosen together with the person in the sponsorship.
We are happy to help with the selection of literature and other questions.
The citizens' meeting place "Gemeinsam im Kiez leben" is an institution of the Cooperative Mensch eG and an inclusive meeting place in Alt-Hohenschönhausen. Since October 2018, the citizens' meeting place has been sponsored by the district of Lichtenberg. As a social meeting place, it is dedicated to the elimination of barriers and the local implementation of the UN Disability Rights Convention. We want to promote inclusion in the neighbourhood. We have various open and inclusive offers in the Bürgertreff and in the Kiez. We have a large network in Lichtenberg and various cooperation partners, such as an inclusive boccia club. We also arrange cultural sponsorships between people with disabilities and/or low income and people interested in culture.
