According to Gotha Aktuell it is Schenk's goal to honor the voluntary and institutionalized social work for social composition to present.

The minister invites all media representatives to register for the individual tour stations. These are wide and start on Monday at the Emmaus senior center in Saalburg-Ebersdorf, where the first talks will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. In the afternoon there is a visit to the multi -generation house in Gotha.

A look at the other stations of the summer tour shows that Schenk will visit numerous places in the coming week:

This variety of appointments shows how important the minister is the personal connection to the citizens in Thuringia. The summer tour is also supported by organizations such as the Social Services in Thuringia , which has focused on the support of people in special living situations for over 30 years. The facility offers over 70 projects in areas such as child and youth welfare, integration assistance and community-related psychiatric support. Always with the aim of redesigning habitats and creating perspectives.

volunteer work in focus

Another important aspect of the summer tour is the commitment of volunteers. The volunteer agency "incluwir" actively promotes volunteer work in the region and is an excellent example of the grown cooperation that Schenk speaks. The project helps people to volunteer and offer support for various voluntary work, be it in the fire brigade, in the hospital or at sports clubs. The agency also enables advice and further training to support the volunteers.

With all these efforts, it becomes clear that social cohesion in Thuringia is very popular. The summer tour of Minister of Social Affairs Schenk will not only contribute to networking, but also put the importance of volunteering and social responsibility in the foreground. A really important step to keep the "togetherness" and the "for each other" in our society!
