The Special Olympics World Games with about 7000 athletes with intellectual disabilities will take place from June 17 to 25 in Berlin. Ebersberg is one of more than 200 so-called host towns throughout Germany.
The sporting event serves as an austere but above all inviting stage for encounters between people with, without and without intellectual disabilities. The French delegation will set off on Wednesday afternoon (approx. 15:30 p.m.) in Steinhöring for the torch relay with destination Klosterbau.
