[DeepL:] We have been committed to education, integration and violence prevention in the Rollberg neighborhood of Berlin-Neukölln since 2003. In particular, we are intensively committed to promoting the education and social skills of children and young people. Our projects live from the great voluntary commitment of around 120 volunteers.
Our work is based on the concept of 'lived diversity". In the context of everyday and leisure-oriented encounters, it is easier to introduce children and young people from educationally disadvantaged families to unfamiliar topics or even to supposedly taboo subjects. In this way, we promote awareness of any kind of discrimination or exclusion, for example between genders, on the basis of age or culture, disability, sexual identity or religion.
We coordinate various mentoring programs as well as several group offerings and provide the appropriate support for children and young people of all ages, from 1st grade to the transition to vocational training or university. With our offerings, we reach about 250 children and youth each year, for whom we are a reliable and dedicated contact. We also consistently involve their families in our work.
In general, our programs are designed for the long term in order to achieve the necessary changes in the Rollberg neighborhood and a noticeable impact of our educational and integration work.
