Greifswald Disability Forum Honours Changemakers at 35th Anniversary Celebration

The Greifswald Disability Forum marked its 35th anniversary with a special celebration, honouring individuals and organisations making a difference in the region’s disability community. The main event recognised Kathrin Schulz-Jokiel for her efforts in building a dementia-inclusive society and empowering people with diverse disabilities. Christiane Baller earned recognition for her long-standing advocacy, playing a crucial role in developing Greifswald’s Inclusion Plan. The ‘Little Fledglings’ Association (Kleine Nestflüchter e.V.) was also celebrated for supporting families of premature babies since its founding in 2013. Two exhibitions opened as part of the anniversary: one showcasing a photographic chronicle of the Disability Forum’s 35-year history, and another travelling display by Lebenshilfe Mecklenburg-Vorpommern offering further insights into disability rights and inclusion. The anniversary event highlighted ongoing efforts to improve inclusion in Greifswald, with honoured individuals and organisations continuing their work in advocacy, support, and awareness. The exhibitions remain open for public viewing as part of the celebrations.
