PEN PAPER PEACE stands for education. Pen and paper symbolically improve the living situation of people who have to live in poverty. Education creates perspectives, courage and is the prerequisite for personal responsibility.
About Pen Paper Peace e.V.
Target group(s)
PEN PAPER PEACE is primarily aimed at children and young people in countries in the Global South (esp. Haiti, Honduras and Namibia) as well as in Europe (especially Germany and Italy).
Objectives
With our educational work in Germany, we strengthen respect for different cultures, ways of life and world views. We combine this with a critical view of European colonialism. We encourage people to reflect on their own positions, highlight opportunities for action and promote dialogue between countries in the global North and South.
Additionally, we raise funds to financially support projects led by local experts in Haiti, Honduras and Namibia. These countries are also the focus of the teaching materials we develop.
Such local projects include funding schools, the teaching of manual skills and childcare, and the support of single parents in completing their education. This creates safe spaces, strengthens civil societies and communities in the long run.
For several years now, we have also been running projects to strengthen the mental health of schoolchildren in Germany. In this respect, too, we see diversity as an enrichment and want to contribute to a social climate in which individual strengths and life plans can flourish.
Your support helps
