50 years of Lebenshilfe in Steyr: Summer festival full of joy and magic!

The 50th anniversary of the Lebenshilfe workshop in Steyr will be celebrated on Friday, July 11th.

Culinary is served with delicious barbecue dishes and freshly tapped beer from the barrel, which ensures a relaxed summer afternoon in a sociable atmosphere. Meinzirk.at emphasizes that the event is not only for those affected, but also for their families and friends: to celebrate.

integration assistance and participation

Lebenshilfe in Steyr plays a central role in the context of integration assistance for people with disabilities. This help offers support in various areas of life to enable a self -determined life. An important change came into force with the Bundesteilhabegesetz (BTHG), which became effective in 2020. Since then, integration assistance has no longer been part of social assistance, but is regulated in its own law. Lebenshilfe.de explains the various performance groups that help people with disabilities to participate in social life.

From help to social participation to support in education and employment opportunities in workshops, the offer of Lebenshilfe includes many aspects. This structure contributes to the fact that those affected not only receive technical support, but can also have a say in the choice and design of their services, as far as alternatives exist. This is particularly important to promote a feeling of personal responsibility and self -determination.

With the upcoming summer festival in Steyr, not only the 50th anniversary of a valuable institution is celebrated, but also a sign is set for the importance of inclusion and community in our society. It becomes a day on which the focus is on the cooperation - and thus the positive aspects of integration assistance that affects so many people.
