On March 16, 2019, Lebenshilfe Berlin celebrated World Down Syndrome Day in the Labyrinth Children\u2019s Museum. The aim was to make children with Down syndrome visible to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that's a complete success! Well over 600 small and large explorers with and without disabilities cavorted at the thirteen hands-on stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A RBB team filmed the hustle and bustle and sent the message \"Children with Down syndrome are children like everyone else\" in the late edition of the evening show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event had a serious background. In April, the German Bundestag discussed the approval of prenatal blood tests for Down syndrome and other chromosomal changes as a health insurance benefit. People with disabilities and their parents are concerned that the tests will discriminate against people with disabilities even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an interview with RBB, Ivonne Kanter, the second chairwoman of Lebenshilfe Berlin, summed up the problem: \u201cToday we sort out people with Down syndrome. Who do we sort out tomorrow?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lebenshilfe would like to thank the Children's Museum, Aktion Mensch and cds Wohnbau for their support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
