SKATE-AID:

We want to make the world a little bit better. No less than that.

In the kids we see the future of our world. And we’re thinking: this world needs strong kids, so that they have a good future. It is important that the basic needs of all kids are satisfied, for example that they have enough food and can grow up in a safe environment.

But there‘s more what the human being needs and what he longs for. It‘s anchored inside and drives him. It’s the need for affiliation and support, it’s the experience of appreciation and estimation and the deep yearning to realize one’s full potential. In order for kids to become strong, they must have the chance to develop this early on.

That’s why they need sense- and identity formation, especially in their orientation phase as "pubescent snotty brats”. For this they need self-determined free spaces in their socialization so that they can learn, grow and develop into strong personalities based on intrinsic motivation. "Being a blockhead” by too much extrinsic socialization is disturbing. All this together makes the educational power of skateboarding possible. And this is exactly where we want to start with this immense power.

Through the work of skate-aid, kids and teenagers will become self-determined personalities, enriching their societies as strong individuals. Precisely there, where living conditions are disadvantageous and hope and a perspective are lacking. The movement-oriented youth culture skateboarding knows neither borders nor war. It does not differentiate according to skin color, religion or social status…no…it connects. And we want to characterize kids through this connecting spirit.

When children become strong in this way, our commitment makes a lasting contribution to the development of civil society, socialization-, prevention- and peace work. Then the world really gets a little better through our actions.

That's our vision.
