Our Mission
Between August 2024 and December 2025, we created a safe environment for children and adolescents (aged 10–17), helping them:
- Develop new skills and talents.
- Explore Berlin’s cultural and leisure infrastructure.
- Strengthen self-confidence through sports and creative activities.
Project Activities
- Weekly Karate CourseTraining Sessions for Girls and Boys at the Accommodation Center
- Movie OutingsGroup film screenings focused on friendship, respect, and equality, presented in a way that is accessible and engaging for young people
- Trips to TierparkGroup Visit to the Park
We didn’t just organize leisure activities - we:
- Built trust: Regular karate sessions created a strong bond between the project team and the children.
- Removed barriers: Holding activities inside the residential complex made participation accessible to everyone.
- Supported girls: We proved that with a sensitive approach, it is possible to engage girls from families with conservative traditions in physical activities.
