WOHN:SINN is an innovative alliance that advocates for the inclusive living of people with and without disabilities in the German-speaking area. Founded by Tobias Polsfuß, who has extensive experience in an inclusive shared living community, the organization aims to promote self-determined and communal living for all.
The main mission of WOHN:SINN is to provide people with disabilities the opportunity to live self-determined and in active community with others. This is in accordance with Article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which emphasizes the right to independent living and inclusion in the community. The goal is to avoid external determination, exclusion, and loneliness, and to promote an inclusive society[3][4].
WOHN:SINN is committed to a sustainable and inclusive housing culture. By providing information, consultation, and support for the founding and operation of inclusive housing projects, the organization contributes to enabling more people with disabilities to live in self-determined and communal living forms. The online platform and regional events aim to create a network that promotes networking and exchange among the participants. Additionally, WOHN:SINN works closely with sponsors and donors to secure these initiatives in the long term[1][3][4].
Through these efforts, WOHN:SINN makes an important contribution to creating a more inclusive and integrative society where all people, regardless of their abilities, can lead a self-determined life.
