III.04: projektXchange – Exchange Turns Strangers into Friends
Socially disadvantaged school pupils meet “integration ambassadors”, who themselves experienced and overcame discrimination. Through topic-focussed interaction and the emphasis on meetings with personalities from the areas of culture, academia and business, self-confidence and a community feeling is strengthened within the pupils and a route prepared for a belief in their own opportunities and potential.
