Abgesagt | Ulrike Reinhard-SkatergirlAsha
In the organizer's words:
The transformative power of skateboarding
Reading/ lecture followed by a Q&A session
About the project
In 2014, Ulrike Reinhard began building a skatepark in the small village of Janwaar in rural India. The people didn't know what skateboarding was. The children quickly embraced this new space and made it their own. It was the beginning of an impressive transformation process - for the children and for the whole village. The project became known as The Barefoot Skateboarders, received several awards and was replicated in other places in India. A Netflix movie is based on Asha's story.
About the book
Ulrike Reinhard created the skatepark that changed Asha's life so significantly. In "Skater Girl Asha" , she now tells her story and that of her friends Anil and Kumar. The book offers three things: a spectacular coming-of-age narrative, insights into a reality of life that is foreign to many of us, plus inspiration on what we can learn from it ourselves - personally and socially. It is therefore aimed at people who want to make big changes on a small scale, including young readers.
