INCLUSION & ACCESSIBILITY

Inclusion in the schoolyard means that pupils with different abilities, ages and experience can train together – without anyone being left out.

INCLUSION & ACCESSIBILITY
Quick Answer

Startchancen schools are often very heterogeneous. An inclusive exercise space offers low-threshold entry points and several difficulty levels at the same station. BARbara’s QR library with four levels supports this differentiation. The Neinstedt inclusive sport area, a municipal project supported by Lotto Sachsen-Anhalt, shows that BARbara can be part of an inclusive site.

What makes an exercise space inclusive

  • Low-threshold exercises without prior knowledge
  • Several difficulty levels at the same station
  • Accessible routes to the station (planned by the school authority)
  • Exercises that can be done standing, sitting or with support
  • A shared place instead of separate offers

Differentiation with four levels

The QR library distinguishes between Beginner, Advanced, 50+ and Pro. Teachers can assign exercises according to individual ability – a principle they know from internal differentiation in class.

Reference: Neinstedt

In Neinstedt (Saxony-Anhalt), an inclusive sport area with BARbara was realised as a municipal project with support from Lotto Sachsen-Anhalt. It is not a school project, but a reference for inclusive outdoor fitness.
