📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The project was launched as a parent initiative and registered as a non-profit association. The initiators are parents of multi-ethnic children, and they are confronted with racist-motivated prejudices and attacks in everyday life. The project organisation creates a safe environment in which all children are unique. We strengthen their self-confidence, giving them the opportunity, in our workshops, to learn all the tools they need to live well in a global world of change. The volunteer will work with children and young people from difficult family background or life circumstances. Possible tasks are to assist the kids with their homework, to support the staff or with leisure activities like arts and sports. The project is very interested in facilitating cultural exchange between the volunteer and the children, many of whom also have a non-German family background.
