"Celebrate and promote" is the motto when skate-aid founder Titus Dittmanninvites to the Westenergie skate-aid-night in the festive ambience of the Skaters Palace. After a break in 2020 due to Corona, around 200 guests from all over Germany followed his call on 20.11.2021.

Namaste everyone! Gabu, our project coordinator for International Projects, set off for Nepal at the end of October. After landing in Kathmandu, he had 15 hours of overland travel, chaotic traffic and dark roads ahead of him until he arrived safely in Butwal. Gabu has traveled many countries for us. Nepal is one of those that challenge him in a completely different way...

"RTL - Wir helfen Kindern" (We help children) godfather Wotan Wilke Möhring: "Children have no lobby in our society. But children are our future, we must strengthen them!"

Kölnberg is a dreary, run-down high-rise complex in the Meschenich district, one of Cologne's biggest social hotspots. In the middle of the high-rise canyons, unexpectedly loud kids's laughter can be heard. On an old tennis court, numerous children and young people skate around with their boards. In the middle of it all: Wotan Wilke Möhring. The actor is visiting as a friend of skateboarding pioneer Titus Dittmann and as a godfather for "RTL - Wir helfen Kindern"

In a ceremony in the Lamberti Room of the District Government of Münster, District President Dorothee Feller presented the high honor to Titus Dittmann on October 21. She thus honored the decades-long commitment of the skateboarding pioneer and ambitious educator to the sporting and social spheres. Titus Dittmann is "many": skateboard pioneer and entrepreneur, racer, ex-student councilor, youth lobbyist, university lecturer and above all: instigator with skate-aid and the educational power of skateboarding in the context of worldwide youth aid projects.

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!
