Our Courses

´Our courses are at the heart of Be Strong For Kids. With currently 81 different sports, exercise, and cultural programs, we reach more than 680 children from our partner organizations each week. Our activities range from “Fearless in the Water” to “Strong Together through Judo” – offering children regular opportunities to move, play, and grow. In short, Be Strong For Kids brings movement into the region, reaching children and young people who especially benefit from a positive break from everyday life – including those who are ill, living with disabilities, or facing social disadvantage. At the centre of everything we do is the joy of movement, shared experiences in groups, and the strengthening of each child’s confidence and self-esteem.

Would you like to support us in further expanding our programes, or are you interested in one of our courses?

  • Therapeutic riding

    Therapy horses are empathetic companions who help children and young people to "grow" on a psychological and physical level. They empower without judgment.

  • Stand-up paddling

    Water sports are effective and great fun, especially in summer. The best proof: our stand-up paddleboarding and stand-up polo courses on the Ruhr River.

  • Inclusive skating course

    Skateboarding in an inclusive group: Sounds cool, is cool, and – even cooler – brings kids together and out of their usual environment. Our mobile skatepark makes it possible.

  • Le Parkour

    Our parkour courses are a real boost to self-confidence. Because those who learn to overcome obstacles are better equipped to handle life's challenges.

  • Breakdance

    Breakdancing is more than just a dance. Breakdancing is a way of life. This course is about overcoming boundaries, acting as a team – and putting on a great show.

  • Yoga & Meditation

    Cancer is a diagnosis that completely upends every person's life, including family life. Our yoga classes help you find peace and relaxation during difficult times.

  • Beatboxing

    Beatboxing is about creativity, a sense of rhythm, and exploring your own talent and vocal potential. Our courses promote precisely these goals.

  • Judo

    Be Strong For Kids is pleased to offer several hours of judo courses per week for German and Ukrainian children and teenagers in Essen.
