KiwiBI – Children welcome in Bielefeld

According to an African proverb, “It takes a whole village to raise a child”. This also applies to parents in Bielefeld and KiWiBI is there to lend a helping hand.

Parenting expectations have risen over the last few years and this has been accompanied by a barrage of advice in the media – but, how do you decide between good or bad advice? Parenting has become more diverse and multifaceted, but also more difficult.

This is where the child-friendly town of Bielefeld comes in –“KiwiBI – Children welcome in Bielefeld” comes alongside parents by supporting mothers and fathers with newborn babies and welcoming these little citizens.

This is because mothers and fathers with children need a neighbourhood which not only shares their joy, but also their challenges and hardships, providing them with support.

The AWO voluntary academy OWL is responsible for organising welcome visits and KiwiBI groups on behalf of the town of Bielefeld.
