🏢 About the local organisation
The Summer School aims to promote the cooperation and intercultural understanding between SCI and our partners in Kyrgyzstan. During the first week in Berlin, participants get an introduction to SCI and the opportunity to exchange ideas; views and experience on the challenges that young people in Germany and Kyrgyzstan are facing. After this opening seminar, participants divide up to take part in international workcamps. The travel tickets to and from the workcamps back to Berlin are arranged and paid by SCI.

The program of the event will be divided into three parts:
- 1. Deepening & exchanging ideas & knowledge on the main topics (27.07. – 05.08. in Berlin) participants can arrive earlier, but must arrange their own stay and cover their own costs for food etc.
