Thanks to your generous support, especially during last Christmas Holidays, we can keep growing! Growing means reaching more and more schools and children with our project. We currently run the RespAct project in three German cities Berlin, Munich and Hamburg and neughbouring towns. We work with the most vulnerable children and youth from socially disadventaged families. We'd like to start intensivelly work with young refugees that come to Germany and start their new lifes in German schools. They have to learn new culture and language, but they also need to cope with their hard experiences in the past and overcome the psychological problems.
In January 2015 we started the cooperation with the vocational school in Starnberg in Bayern that started this year two classes for refugees in the aged 16-23. Young people from coming from different countries and different cultures enjoyed the project that let them strenghten their sense of togetherness, responsibility for the environment and the importance of respect towards the peers.
Since the project got a great reception under young people, RespAct Project will be continued in the vocational school. Thank you for your support!
