Self-Directed Education

The project “Bildung Selbstbestimmt Leben” combines capoeira, media education and poetry to give children and young people a space for freely developing their potential through cultural education.

Together with Welcome Treff, run by Freiwilligenagentur Halle, and WohnUnion e. V., we organise accessible activities in the neighbourhood.

Capoeira as an Accessible Starting Point

Within the project, capoeira provides an accessible introduction to physical expression. It combines movement, music and play, promoting not only physical fitness but also social interaction and a sense of community. By learning and practising capoeira together, the participating children and young people develop awareness of their own bodies and improve their coordination and motor skills.

Media Education for Self-Assertion Online

The project’s media education aims to teach children and young people skills for using digital media. They learn to navigate the digital world safely and independently, reflect critically and create their own content. By exploring different media formats and techniques, they gain the ability to put their own ideas into practice creatively and present themselves confidently in the digital world.

Poetry as a Form of Expression

Including poetry in the project enables participants to put their thoughts and feelings into words and express them creatively. Writing, composing poetry and enjoying literature together encourages them to find their own voice and express themselves. Poetry serves as an artistic medium for processing emotions, stimulating the imagination and developing language skills.

Summer School and Holiday Activities

The project makes shared cultural activities possible during the holidays. Interested participants can get involved beyond the weekly courses and find further inspiration. Our holiday trip supports lasting benefits and social cohesion.

Through the project “Bildung Selbstbestimmt Leben”, the association creates a varied and inspiring educational space in which children and young people can develop their creative potential through capoeira, media education and poetry. Combining physical expression, digital skills and artistic creation encourages them to develop with confidence and self-determination.
