GlobalMatch e.V.

Our Vision is for young people all over the world to have equal opportunities to shape our global future; that they learn from each other and shape reality together at eye level. Our world is already connected through digital media. Also in the Global South smartphones and internet access shape the day to day life. GlobalMatch uses that potential by connecting young people from different parts of the world according to their interests, professional backgrounds and other personality criteria. As the bare connection is not enough to overcome historically shaped thought patterns and power relations, we also provide intercultural training and broach the issue of postcoloniality during each Tandem-Partnership. Moreover, we guide the tandems with coachings and best practices to develop a joint project based on their shared interests. In a nutshell, this connection allows participants to share opportunities with each other, learn together and from each other, harness their potentials and build bridges across cultures.
