The Arche Tirol is part of an international community of people with and without disabilities, who live and work together based on the Arche community’s international Charta. This Charta says that every person has a unique importance.
The Arche Tirol was founded in 1992 and is a Christian – ecumenical community. In our daily routine is place for spirituality and to go to church on Sunday.
We have contacts to many Arche communities in Europe (mainly Germany) and in the whole world. The work at Arche is also based on the UN convention for people with disabilities.
Arche Tirol: At the moment 10 disabled people are living in two houses, one is in Gries and one is in St. Jodok am Brenner (4 km distance). All people are adults. Four people with mental und multiple disabilities live in the Arche-house in Gries and six live in St. Jodok. Arche calls them “core-members”. This project is for youngsters who are not afraid of working with multiple disabled people! Our main philosophy is not only taking care of them, but also to offer relationship and a home.
Nearby the living house in Gries, there is our workshop, where our core-members work. They are producing candles, potteries, paper and bags. We offer them und sell these products.
In St. Jodok we have a “basale group” also. Our core-members with multiple disabilities have there a special and diversified time. In this time we try to support them and develop their skills.
The main tasks of the community are to share life, to eat and work together, to play and to sing, to do shopping, make excursions and holiday trips. We try to create a familiar atmosphere and to structure social life. We try to participate actively in the life of the local villages and stay in regular contact with the people and the public.
Another small task is participating in the household, for example cooking, tidying up, doing the laundry and cleaning up.
We try to offer our core-members an exciting and diversified life. So we have many weekly leisure activities. The volunteer accompanies our core-members (for example: dancing, swimming, hiking…).
The volunteers live and work in Arche Tirol with a professional team (pedagogues, nurses, psychologist,) who have multicultural backgrounds. Arche staff has weekly meetings in the teams and monthly supervisions. The volunteer will join these meetings.
