Handball and craft: ten years of strong partnership in Melsungen!

Melsungen, Deutschland - What's new in Melsungen? A very special anniversary celebration is imminent: the MT Melsungen and the Chamber of Crafts Kassel celebrate ten years of successful partnership. The two institutions have teamed up under the handy motto "Handball meets" to promote the enthusiasm for handball and the talents of the craft. The cooperation is not only a sporting highlight, but also an important initiative for the region.

As part of this cooperation, the so -called inlet children may accompany the handball professionals before every home game. These young athletes wear blue T-shirts, which are not lost with the strong slogan "Whoever pursues his passion", based on the nationwide image campaign "Das Handwerk". HWK President Frank Dittmar explains that the slogan is a real encourager for choosing a career in the craft. He emphasizes that manual talent and passion are often pushed into the background, the craft profession is anything but a "black sheep" in the Joblandschaft.

regional opportunities

This partnership conveys exciting perspectives and not only promotes sport, but also training in craftsmanship. HWK general manager Jürgen Müller emphasizes that craftsmen play an important role in society as a "possible maker". Andreas Mohr, the board spokesman for MT, also sees the cooperation as an important step to strengthen the region in areas such as training and jobs. The demand for the inlet children is already enormous: Martin Schmidt from the HWK reports that the waiting list extends beyond the North Hessian borders.

This day the waiting list for the 2024/2025 season is already full, but good news is waiting for the small handball fans: Registration for the 2025/26 season is expected to be open in summer 2025. The Chamber of Crafts Kassel announces the necessary information on registration on its social media channels, including Instagram and Facebook. All applications are placed on the waiting list and the selected applicants are contacted as soon as a home game day is certain.

promotion of young talent in craft

This initiative blends into a larger context: Since January 1, 2020, the craft has been an official partner and youth promoter of the German Handball Federation (DHB). In any case, the craft is represented in men's local internationals, and the impressive floor stickers in both spa circles give the whole a nice visual frame. In the home game against Iceland alone, the craft on ZDF was able to reach an audience of an average of 3.09 million viewers, which corresponds to a great mark of 14.9 %.

The cooperation between the MT Melsungen and the Chamber of Crafts Kassel impressively shows how handball and craft can go hand in hand. A strong partnership that not only offers young talents a platform, but also focuses on tomorrow's specialists.
