The workshops are conducted in teams of 2-3 volunteers aged 16 and older. For this we are looking for enthusiastic young people with a desire to get involved!
Your Tasks
Themes include raising awareness of cultural differences and dealing with identity, prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination. Human rights, flight and the like can also be dealt with - the schools choose the focus and the volunteers design the content.
