Before the fall vacations it was time for "skate-aid@school powered by Westfälische Provinzial" again. As part of our skate-aid@school project, we visited the secondary school in Beckum and the Profilschule Fürstenberg in Bad Wünneberg. Our transportable miniramp (plus some obstacles) were of course along for the ride and our skate-aid coaches conducted pedagogical skateboarding workshops...

Welcome back Dodoma/Tanzania & THANK YOU, dearest Lydia Lehan-Fisk! We are happy to announce that thanks to the endless effort of our longtime skate-aid supporter Lydia (she initiated the project in Tanzania in 2011) we were able to reactivate our concluded project in Dodoma/Tanzania again. Our two new local volunteers Simon and Abu have been skating on the weekends with the kids for a few weeks and now started officially holding skate-aid...

We wish all kids who took part in the vacation workshops that we organized together with westenergie, (…and of course all others too) a great beginning of the new school year with lots of fun, new friends and long breaks. Our skate-aid coaches are happy and...

Nepal, heart of the Himalayas, the conditions are rough and perspectives cloudy. Children lack a safe space to experience appreciation and become self-determind personalities. "Who am I and what is my purpose in life?"
With our planned skate park in Butwal, the local community will be made stronger. And the stronger it is, the more kids are encouraged to push against the odds. Skateboarding empowers the kids in Nepal. Skateboarding teaches lessons that go beyond...

On the initiative of C&A Germany, the COFRA Foundation donated 100,000 Euro to skate-aid international e.V. last year. Unfortunately, the originally planned date for the cheque presentation had to be postponed again and again due to corona. Therefore we were very excited that Guido Terörde, manager of the C&A store in Münster, was recently able to hand over the gigantic cheque (in every sense of the word). The money will be used for the skate-aid projects in Germany, which, thanks to the donation from C&A, got a proper push. Thanks a lot for this awesome support!

On Sunday (July 4, 2021) it was "celebrate and promote" time again. Our founder and instigator Titus Dittmann had invited to the skate-aid-matinee in his backyard.
Unlike the skate-aid-night, our annual charity gala at the Skaters Palace, our skate-aid family met for the first time exclusively and without the press present for a summer charity event in Münster-Handorf. The idea to organize an art happening in the summer months for the benefit of skate-aid was already on Titus' mind for a long time...

Last year, our GIRLS SKATE! campaign offered girls the opportunity to discover skateboarding for themselves in a series of workshops with our skate-aid coaches and the support of female skateboarders. The goal was not only to generate enthusiasm for skateboarding among the participants, but also to build a new community that will support and encourage girls to pursue their dreams and grow into self-determined women in the long run...

Uganda? That's what it said in the message from skate-aid. I was asked if I wanted to accompany the guys and girls of skate-aid, including Titus, to Uganda to document the whole trip (including the grand opening of the “Skull Bowl” at the Kampala Skatepark) photographically. Taking pictures…traveling…skate-aid project? I didn’t hade to think twice...

This week was under the motto: skate-aid@school powered by Westfaelische Provinzial. This year, together with Provinzial, we’re visiting four additional schools as part of our skate-aid@school project.
We were together with the office Provinzial Aegidiimarkt and our transportable miniramp...

Yesterday we finally restarted with our skateboard workshops in Bethlehem/Palestine. After a break of more than 12 months we’re finally back on the board! The skate park is located near the historic site of Shepherd's Field in the West Bank. Apart from the political instability and the prevailing violence, the area suffers from a high unemployment rate and a high level of poverty. During the construction of the skate park...
