For several years now, the Ecumenical Initiative has made it possible for refugee families and volunteers to join an integrative weekend trip. The destination in 2023 was Radevormwald. In particular to newly arrived families, such a weekend trip offers the opportunity to socialize with each other and use their newly acquired German language skills.

Since 2005, a duo from the Cologne Clinic Clowns has been visiting young patients at the children’s  hospital in Gummersbach once a week. The hospital clowns’ performances help to ease pain and anxiety and distract the children from everyday hospital  life. The performances are particularly beneficial for  traumatized children from war and crisis zones. The foundation supported with a one-off donation at a time when there was a reduction in small private donations.

The dining room at lunchtime was always unpleasantly noisy when full, especially for older people. It was hard to have a conversation. On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the charity soup kitchen, the  foundation provided support to improve the acoustics by funding a soundproofing installation.

Following flooding in 2021, the facilities for young people in the protestant parish of Wipperfürth were severely damaged, necessitating the disposal of all materials used for groups and special socio-educational projects. The foundation provided funding for replacing and modernizing equipment for children and youth activities, which were not covered by flood aid from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The foundation has helped to provide additional equipment at the secondary school in Lovech which specializes in science. ZSPACE devices, cameras and corresponding software can be used to conduct tests and experiments using 3D images in augmented reality during mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology (STEM) lessons. This facilitates a new kind of interactive learning experience that can make science and technology lessons more engaging.

With assistance from the foundation, the vocational college for transport engineering and electronics in Lovech expanded its existing equipment with stereo-scopic 3D laptops and corresponding software. This initiative also led to the creation of a virtual STEM laboratory, enabling multiple groups of students to engage with the technology simultaneously. This enhancement has made experiments with electrical circuits more realistic and illustrative than ever before.

The Bergische Agentur für Kulturlandschaft (BAK) acts as a link between agriculture and forestry, nature conservation, local authorities and specialist  organisations. It has set itself the task of overhauling the subject of agriculture as taught in schools. An interactive brochure on the topics explains the situation in the regional agriculture and its  dairy industry.

The aim of the Solawi (solidarity agriculture) farm collective project at Hermann-Voss-Realschule in Wipperfürth is to teach practical and theoretical knowledge in nutrition, local direct marketing, organic farming, vegetable cultivation and natural recycling processes to students through the school gardening club. The school garden, which had been unused for an extended period, is also being revitalized as part of this project.

An inpatient hospice for the towns of Remscheid, Wermelskirchen, Radevormwald and Hückeswagen was established in Bergisch Born. Wipperfürth is also within easy reach, being only 13 km away. The foundation therefore supported the purchase of the interior furnishings for the new hospice building.

The Hans Hermann Voss Foundation supports the projects of the Ökumenische Initiative e. V. in Wipperfürth to promote the exchange between locals and fugitives as well as between fugitives from different countries of origin. To this end, in June 2019 the foundation funded a joint visit of locals and fugitives to the Science Center Phänomenta Lüdenscheid. With 180 interactive displays, The Phänomenta addresses both adults and children to explore and try out.

Furthermore, in August 2019 the Hans Hermann Voss Foundation funded a weekend trip for refugees and volunteers to the Conference House „Nordhelle” in the region Sauerland. This trip was also organized by the Ökumenische Initiative e.V. and included intercultural workshops and various leisure activities, with the aim to facilitate encounters and talks between participants and families to enhance solidarity among each other.

For several years now, the Ecumenical Initiative has made it possible for refugee families and volunteers to join an integrative weekend trip. The destination in 2023 was Radevormwald. In particular to newly arrived families, such a weekend trip offers the opportunity to socialize with each other and use their newly acquired German language skills.
