The “Integration macht mobil” (Integration gets you moving) project is run by the RepaRad e.V. association (formerly Rad i.O. Dresden e.V.) and funded by the European Social Fund (ESF), the Free State of Saxony, and the City of Dresden. It is the follow-up project to the project that has been (almost) continuously funded by the ESF since 2018.

Within the framework of a classic bicycle self-help workshop, skills and abilities for repairing and maintaining bicycles are to be developed, knowledge of traffic regulations is to be imparted, and other core competencies for the independent organization of individual mobility are to be taught.

Working together in the workshop brings people from different corners of society together. We want to be a place where people can repair their own bicycles and break down language barriers and prejudices. When people are empowered to make their own bicycles functional again, it increases their important sense of self-efficacy. They leave the workshop feeling proud—and we look after them with pride.

Furthermore, the project thrives on the help of volunteers who contribute their energy and ideas to make the workshop a lively meeting place for Friedrichstadt.

The project's target group is primarily residents of Friedrichstadt, especially the unemployed, migrants, and young people. These people are specifically addressed. However, to ensure the open and inclusive nature of the project, everyone else is also welcome.

The following sub-projects are planned to achieve these goals:

• Continuation of a self-help workshop and meeting place for people from Friedrichstadt
• Courses on skills and abilities for repairing bicycles based on the principle of self-help
• Teaching road traffic regulations and road safety
• Opportunities for women to learn how to ride and repair bicycles
