Projects

The project “LGBTIQ Diversity in Museums and Neighborhoods” strengthens educational opportunities on sexual and gender diversity for teenagers and young adults in Berlin. At the same time, it sustainably expands the digital and structural infrastructure of the Gay Museum, thus ensuring long-term inclusive educational work.

The ‘School for Life’ project brings people from various walks of life into schools as so-called ‘LifeTeachers’ to support pupils with practical life knowledge and career insights during missed lessons. In this way, we are countering the shortage of teachers and the growing educational inequality in Germany by reducing absenteeism and giving children authentic insights into the world outside their familiar environment and school.

The project supports 90 young people in the Turin area who have migrated from crisis regions by helping them to integrate into the Italian school system and prepare for the world of work. Their equal opportunities are promoted through targeted educational and support measures.

As a result of the war, most children in Ukraine have experienced traumatic events such as displacement, violence, loss of
family and friends, hunger and cold. With “Education in a bubble”, we want to give 900 children in the east of the country back their joy and courage to face life.

Sufficient language and reading skills are key prerequisites for successful integration into society, which in turn forms the basis for a responsible and self-determined life. However, an increasing number of pupils in Germany are unable to read and write properly. As part of the project, children therefore receive half a day of literacy lessons and half a day of soccer training for 90 minutes twice a week.

The Russian invasion caused Ukrainian schools to close or operate on a hybrid or remote curriculum, severely impacting children’s education. Online schooling fails to provide adequate social skills and hands-on learning activities, further disadvantaging children.We are establishing four Innovation Learning Labs in four Ukrainian locations to provide quality education to children and youth.

Through workshops, mentoring and coaching refugees get prepared for their career start in this project. In addition, qualified applicants will be introduced to cooperating companies.

The music and performing activities offered as part of this project give children and young people from all social classes, nations and religions access to creative educational and cultural programs.

The project brings together about 60 children from refugee and migrant backgrounds every week to learn the German language together through games, sports and fun.
