Innsbruck starts bike course for refugees - mobility and integration!

Innsbruck, Österreich - In Innsbruck, an innovative bike course for refugee people is currently being offered to promote safe and inexpensive mobility. This initiative is carried out by the municipal integration office in cooperation with the Tyrolean social services. The aim of the course is to bring basic driving techniques and traffic rules closer to the participants in order to increase their safety in road traffic. The course takes place in the refugee home on Trientlgasse and is headed by the climate alliance Tyrol. TT.com reports that the participants can gain more orientation in everyday life.

City councilor Janine Bex emphasizes the importance of mobility for participation in social life. She emphasizes that this course not only conveys the practical handling of the bike, but also promotes a social exchange between the refugees and local people. In addition, project manager Simone Profus praises the courage of the participants to learn cycling in adulthood.

content of the bike course

The bike course comprises a total of ten units that take place at one or two times a week. In these units, the participants not only bring the basic techniques of cycling closer, but also impart important information about traffic rules. In addition, bike excursions are planned to use what they have learned. At the end of the course week, a longer exit is planned.

Another aspect of the program is the funding from the state of Tyrol, which enables the participants to reduce the deductible. This makes participation more accessible to everyone interested. In addition to the bike course for refugees, similar offers for other target groups such as women and young people with a migration background are provided. In these courses, which are also organized by the Tyrol climate alliance, traffic safety and practical driving exercises are in the foreground. Klimabuendnis.at informed about the different programs for different target groups.

cycling as the key to integration

Participation in these courses can play a crucial role in their integration for refugee people. The acquisition of mobility competence not only promotes independence, but also the opportunity to actively participate in social life. With this project, the city of Innsbruck is pursuing a long -term strategy to sustainably establish integrative mobility offers and increase the well -being of citizens.

Finally, the project shows how important mobility is for social participation. The combination of practical experience and social interaction represents a valuable contribution to improving the life situation of refugee people.
