About the volunteering opportunity
*Showing children and young people what is possible with digital devices** The Corona pandemic promotes the use of digital tools and media in society, but it poses major challenges for families of refugees in particular. This is because, in addition to often lacking media skills, parents are also unable to adequately support their offspring due to the language barrier. In order to ensure that children and young people from our refugee accommodations in particular are not disadvantaged, they need support in the use of digital media so that homeschooling, for example, can also succeed.
