6 Ideas & Projects for your Volunteering around Christmas

Would you like to volunteer for other people over the Christmas period and thus give a little warmth and joy? We'll show you various opportunities and specific projects that you can get involved in over the festive period.

Cold aid: Emergency numbers & commitment for homeless people

When the nights get colder, homeless people in particular suffer from the low temperatures. In our article, you will find current cold aid emergency numbers for numerous German cities as well as opportunities to get involved in homeless aid in your city.

War in the Middle East | Where you can get informed & make donations

Since the brutal terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel on 7 October, Israel and Palestine are at war. We show you sources where you can get independent information about the background and the latest developments. And we will introduce you to organisations that are committed to humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip and promoting intercultural understanding.

We provide concrete possibilities for individuals, especially for the younger generation, to become socially engaged and help create a better world.
