Offer places of rest

Concretization of the measure

In the run-up to the Kirchentag, a workshop with the department of the Kirchentag responsible for all concerns of the participants, focused on groups particularly affected by weather changes. In this workshop, the idea was born that more resting places and especially more resting places for vulnerable groups of people should be offered. Heat in particular, can trigger high levels of stress in people. In order to prevent heat-stress related illnesses, places of rest can be useful for lingering between items on the agenda of events.

Note

At the Kirchentag there are specially equipped rest areas for people with disabilities and the elderly. In addition there are cafés and/or other places for breaks in the so-called “centres”, where specific programme items are offered. The issue of resting places should be further considered in the coming events and, if necessary be expanded.
