Together for inclusion: Aroundtown Foundation supports Lebenshilfe literature project

The Aroundtown Foundation financially supports the project "The Art of Simplicity - The 2023 Simple Language Literature Competition" of Lebenshilfe Berlin.

Lebenshilfe works to ensure that people with disabilities receive the support they need and helps them to represent their interests. The participation and well-being of people with high support needs is particularly important to Lebenshilfe.

This literary contest has already been successfully organized seven times by Lebenshilfe Berlin. This year, they are once again looking for renowned authors to participate in the competition and compile the best stories into a book for the general public. This book of about 20 stories will be published for the Leipzig Book Fair in 2024. The award ceremony will also take place there in a dignified setting.

The Aroundtown Foundation's financial support reflects the Foundation's focus on supporting disadvantaged communities and promoting general well-being.
