This is what we offer at Achet
At Achet, we organize and participate in various activities because we believe in a world where everyone can participate in their own unique way. By offering these activities, we show people where their potential lies. This helps boost their self-confidence, encouraging them to realize more of their own potential.
Movement for independence
At Achet, we believe that movement can be a powerful key to a self-sufficient and vital life. Our collaboration with physiotherapists enables us to effectively address both physical and psychological issues. Whether it's at our facility or on location, our clients can rely on an approach that is not only effective but also enjoyable.
Our methods are unique. We incorporate exercises designed by physiotherapists in a playful manner through movement to music. This makes the experience more enjoyable and helps participants temporarily forget their pain. We challenge our clients and seek the most suitable methods to address their issues as effectively as possible, aiming for complete relief. Although this is not always possible, we focus on the individual and respond to their specific needs to alleviate the problem as much as possible. Our ultimate goal is for clients to perceive the treatment as a positive experience rather than a negative one.
Our sessions can take place both in groups and one-on-one. Sometimes, family and friends can join the activities, providing additional positive connection and support.
At Achet, we transform movement into a festive and healing experience, allowing everyone to harness the power of music and movement on their journey to a healthier and happier life.
Expertise and education
At Achet, we continually develop our knowledge and share our expertise by offering lectures and workshops for professionals, clubs, colleges, and universities, both nationally and internationally. These educational sessions are designed to provide important insights into supporting people with disabilities, utilizing the latest research and practical examples.
We strive to stay informed about the newest developments in our field and adapt our methods accordingly. In our own center, we regularly organize lectures involving universities. These events are a crucial part of our mission to share our vision and raise awareness about the importance of our work for this target group.
Through these initiatives, we aim to reach as wide an audience as possible and to amplify the impact of our message, demonstrating how valuable and necessary it is to invest in the support of people with disabilities.
Participating in the Waanzinnig Festival
We are always present at the Waanzinnig Festival in the Netherlands. These festivals not only offer a chance to enjoy together but also to raise funds for Stichting Achet, enabling us to further assist more people who truly need it. In the future, we dream of organizing similar festivals abroad, allowing us to expand our mission internationally. Through these collective efforts, we not only bring people into motion but also build a community that supports and uplifts one another.
What is the Waalzinnig Festival?
The Waalzinnig Festival is an annual event in Nijmegen, Netherlands, celebrating music, culture, and community spirit. The festival aims to provide an inclusive and welcoming space where both people with and without disabilities can come together and enjoy. With a diverse program ranging from music performances and theater to workshops and creative activities, there is something for everyone.
Known for its warm and inviting atmosphere, the Waalzinnig Festival invites visitors not only to watch but also to actively participate in various activities. Accessibility and participation are key, as the festival seeks to break down barriers and create an environment where everyone feels welcome to enjoy art and culture. For Stichting Achet, this collaboration is a wonderful opportunity to support our mission and build a more inclusive world together.
