Inclusion in the planning of outdoor exercise areas
The "big break" is the "favourite subject" of all school children and the schoolyard is therefore an important space for movement, balance and sport in the school day, in addition to the offers in the clubs and in the informal leisure area. Here, unrestricted opportunities for movement and recreation are to be offered to all pupils, regardless of their different abilities and development.
A schoolyard, the design of which not only takes accessibility into account, should enable all pupils and teaching and support staff to participate in equal measure. In doing so, a schoolyard must be exciting and interesting, offer challenges in a variety of ways, inspire the imagination to move, and at the same time be a space for physical and social development.
The focus of the symposium "Schoolyards - Play and Movement Inclusiv(e)" is to address the topic of schoolyard design in the focus of inclusion.
Based on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities for Equal Participation in Society, which has been enshrined as national law in Germany since 2009, this must be taken into account in every construction measure.
