Visitng the partner city of Hamm
The two-day stay in the sister city included working sessions revolving on social issues. Discussions focused on policies for the elderly and for families.
The model apartment, which the delegation visited on the first day of their stay, presents innovative solutions to remove all architectural barriers and make everyday life easier for people with reduced mobility. The following day, a meeting was held on the city's work with senior citizens.
Another important topic was the pro-family policy that has been actively developed over the years. Hamm aims to become the most family-friendly city in Germany. To achieve this, new kindergartens are being built, older buildings are being renovated and there are plans to open an office offering all the services families need in one place, both in person and online.
The guests from Kalisz also visited one of the city's sports-focused kindergartens and several of the many playgrounds.
