Inclusive Playground Delights at GO! Vila'Ket
Every child deserves the opportunity to play outside together without limitation. In the Neder-Over-Heembeek suburb of Brussels, BUSO school GO! Vila'Ket has received a wonderful addition: a large inclusive playground. This school offers special education to children from 2 to 21 years of age with moderate to severe mental and motor challenges. For this target group, outdoor play is invaluable for their development, and the new playground equipment provides plenty of room for that.

Fun for Every Child
The playground equipment, an all-in activity tower, is a fantastic enhancement to the school. It offers an abundance of play opportunities and can accommodate numerous children at once, including wheelchair users. The tower is designed with play elements close to the ground, such as play walls and a zigzag bar, allowing all children to participate in the fun. It also features a slide, climbing ropes, and a wobble bridge with a sturdy platform underneath for added stability. There's a challenge for young and older demographics alike. The color contrast of green, brown, and yellow ensures that even children with visual challenges can join in the play.
The playground equipment contributes to an inclusive environment where all children can play and have fun together, regardless of experience. It demonstrates that with proper attention and design, all children have the opportunity for unlimited outdoor play and enjoyment together.
Living and Learning in One Place
GO! Vila'Ket is a Medical Educational Institute consisting of a boarding school and a school for special education. The school offers children guidance in fully developing their personalities and helps them become full citizens of society. The boarding school is a second home where the children live, learn, play together, and have fun. They also have sufficient time to develop their independence and self-reliance, in which play plays an important role.
The school's goal is to provide each child with the best possible educational experience, considering their individual needs and abilities. This is achieved by a team of dedicated professionals, including teachers, therapists, and support staff, working together to create an inclusive and stimulating learning environment.
