A project for a get-together of residents and refugees
We members of the IG Klettern Halle/Löbejün e.V. like to get to know our new neighbours. What about going climbing together? Climbing isn't just a perfect sport to develop confidence in your own abilities and those of the climbing partner. It also encourages the team spirit besides all language barriers.
We intend to form small climbing groups or partnerships between residents and refugees. By teaming up refugees can expand their social contacts and get to know the city of Halle by outdoor climbing. Besides, a cultural and language exchange is created.
This Project is addressed to IG members and refugees, as well as to other interested people of all ages. There is no need of experience in climbing or bouldering.
Group meetings
To get to know each other and to introduce the climbing sport we offer free climbing courses. The courses are taking place every
- Sunday from 11 am to 1 pm (11-13)
- Monday from 3 to 5 pm (15-17)
- Thursday from 3 to 5 pm (parents-kids-climbing)
at the Kletterthalia, Thaliapassage 3, 06108 Halle.
Participants need to bring some gym clothes. Climbing shoes can be borrowed for free. Since space in the climbing gym is limited, a notification for your attendance by e-mail to
At best partnerships and small groups are formed during these meetings, so they can go climbing together when the Kletterthalia is openend for public.
Tandem Partnerships
If you are interested in these get-togethers but don’t have time to come to our courses, you can sign up for a tandem partnership. Just send us an e-mail including your contact information (name, age, phone number) and at which times you are available. We try to assign a partner to you.
