We see diversity as an enrichment and welcome everyone - regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or economic background.

Our Pedagogical Approach

Our goal is to enable young people to shape their lives in a self-determined and responsible manner. Integration and peaceful coexistence of different migrant groups, as well as support for disadvantaged youth, are particularly important to us.

🧠

Critical Thinking

Questioning societal norms and structures. We encourage independent thinking and reflection.

🚀

Independence

Promoting initiative through 'Learning by Doing'. Young people learn through practical experiences.

🗳️

Participation

Young people have a say – about budgets, programs, and rules in the facilities.

🤝

Solidarity

Togetherness that leaves no one behind. We stand up for each other and support one another.
