XS Land Programs

Hungarian Down Foundation

Is here for you, and we’re so excited to see you at our tent at the event! We’re here to support the development of our amazing community members with intellectual disabilities, and we can’t wait to have some creative fun with you! You are warmly invited to join our craftspeople with Down’s syndrome in a fun and friendly environment where you can paint, print, bookmark, pebble, snail shell and scarf your own creations, or even make a bracelet! Hey, why not add a touch of sparkle to your day with some face, glitter and body painting? Or, if you’d rather, why not grab a selfie and snap a fun photo against one of our awesome photo backdrops? If you need a break, why not come and relax with us while colouring a beautiful mandala?

Talking Hands Cultural and Educational Association

Have you ever thought about what the world would be like if it was silent? I know, it’s such a sad thought, but just imagine if you could no longer hear your favourite singer’s voice. It’s totally normal to see this as a loss, and that’s totally okay. We don’t. We all know that connection is about more than just sounds. Sign language is such a beautiful way of communicating, isn’t it? It’s amazing how much you can convey without using words. Hey, why not come along and experience just how complete, profound and expressive the world can be, even without sound?

#beszÉLJ! – Speak Up! Association

Association for the Wellbeing of People with Speech Disorders

The Speak Up! Association is a warm and welcoming place where people who stammer can come together. It’s the first of its kind in Hungary, and it’s run by people who stammer themselves, so they really understand what it’s like to stammer. We’re here to support you and your family, to help you speak up and to work together with other professional organisations, like speech and language therapists, psychologists and social workers. We warmly invite you to join us in our programmes, where we explore the experience of stammering together in a friendly and interactive way.

Bliss Foundation

A world of fun!

We show you the everyday challenges faced by people with complex communication needs through interactive activities based on our own experiences. We warmly invite you to join us and try out different ways of connecting using pictures, gestures and communication aids. You will have the opportunity to meet wonderful young people from the Kaptár Day Centre and learn about the importance of self-determination and access to communication.

Démosthenész National Association of People with Speech Disorders and Their Helpers

August 6-8.

The Demosthenes Association has been supporting people with speech impairments and their carers for over 30 years. They do this by promoting effective communication and equal opportunities. We’re here to help, whatever your age. We’re here to help you grow in your career by offering training courses that are approved by experts in the field. And our clubs are a place where you can feel right at home, chat with others who are going through the same things, and everyone supports each other.

Leisure Sports Association for the Visually Impaired

LÁSS – Feel the Sport!

LÁSS warmly welcomes sighted festivalgoers with experience-based programmes, allowing them to experience what it’s like to play sport without sight in a fun way. Why not try your hand at blind football, blind table tennis or blind boccia? We’re on a mission to bring sports for people with visual impairments closer to you, our wonderful festivalgoers, and to break down any prejudices that might exist.

Miss Spinner Motivational Foundation

We’re on a mission to develop and build self-confidence among wheelchair users. We’re so happy to tell you about our unique programme, the Miss Spinner International Wheelchair Beauty Pageant, which also serves this purpose. We run a wheelchair service on the Island and are exploring the connection between AI and wheelchair users through a special quiz.

Mosolyfestők Alapítvány – Smile Painters Foundation

The foundation carries out design and implementation work to decorate the walls of institutions for children, in collaboration with the institution concerned and its young residents and pupils, involving them in the design and implementation process as required.

Budapest Association for People with Mobility Impairments

We organise fun, interactive activities that give you an insight into the everyday lives of people with physical disabilities. Hey, let’s get you all packed and ready to go! But, if you’re struggling with mobility, how can you do that? You can experience these everyday challenges first-hand, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. You’ll also learn about the possibilities offered by smart homes, which can help you live more independently, which is such a great thing!

Never Give Up Foundation

Here, you can try out what it’s like to live with a disability – but in a fun way! Hey, why not try something a little different and experience what it’s like when your body doesn’t work quite as it should? We’ve got wheelchairs, blindfolds and some other fun tasks that’ll make you feel like you’re living in a whole new world! It’s all about having a good time, enjoying the moment, and seeing things from a fresh perspective. Hey, why not come along and experience it for yourself? We promise you’ll have a great time and learn a lot! Being different is not something to worry about, it’s something to celebrate!

Óbuda Rehabilitation and Employment Centre

Colorful Land

Everybody brings their own unique colour to the world, and we love seeing it! I would love to meet you, create something beautiful together and learn from each other in a warm and welcoming community where everyone feels included. We all have our differences, but they make us richer as people, don’t they? Our shared experiences bring us closer together. I just think that when you put them all together, it really makes the picture complete! #EveryColourCounts

Paraktív Integration Foundation

The Paraktív Integration Foundation is a really lovely organisation that wants to make sure that as many people as possible can experience the wonderful world of sport. Hey guys, here at XS Land we’re so excited to tell you that this year you can once again try your hand at wheelchair basketball, wheelchair fencing, para darts, table tennis and arm wrestling with us! Hey, why not take a seat in a wheelchair, have a go at testing your skills against some para-athletes, and enjoy new experiences in an inclusive community?

If you’re looking for somewhere to stay, there’s EASY XS Campsite next to XS Land.
