In times of global crises, political division, and the consequences of social media and artificial intelligence, we have defined three core focus areas for our work:
Body – We explore and empower what makes us human: our physical "shell" and our anchor in reality.
Self-efficacy – Online likes and dopamine are not real successes. What does it take for us to recognize our contribution to the community and create experiences of genuine, tangible impact?
Acceptance – We no longer believe in mere "tolerance". Instead, it is about accepting every being from the bottom of our hearts as equal, celebrating diversity, while simultaneously establishing and expecting consensual rules for living together.
News, updates, and deep dives into our ongoing initiatives.
Our survey phase is now officially complete. We want to thank everyone who took the time to share their thoughts and ideas with us. Your feedback has been invaluable and instrumental in helping us define our three new focus areas: Body, Self-efficacy, and Acceptance.
Preview: Our theater project fosters imagination, empathy, self-confidence, and communication, strengthens social skills, and enables sustainable emotional development.
Our theater education project at KinderArche by PARI Kinderwelten opens the door for young participants to a new world full of imagination and expressiveness. Children take on roles ranging from courageous heroines to mischievous monsters and transform everyday spaces into vibrant stages where they playfully process experiences.
This creative engagement not only fosters their ability to empathize, but also strengthens their self-confidence and communication skills. In this way, young people are sustainably empowered and important social competencies are conveyed in a playful manner.
We are thrilled to announce our new project partner for "11 Friends," the Susanne Finkbeiner School in Heilbronn.
This state-recognized private vocational school, founded in 2014, supports around 450 students with tailored educational paths, including Hauptschulabschluss, Mittlere Reife, and dual training preparation. Renowned for its focus on individual support and vocational orientation, the school empowers disadvantaged youth, including refugees and those facing educational challenges.
This school for many young people is the last resort after having to quit other educational institutions. We look forward to collaborating with this inspiring institution to create meaningful opportunities for young people.
As part of our joint project with the Diakonisches Werk Heilbronn, we are exploring the question of how friendship can emerge within a diverse group. Diversity does not only mean different origins or cultural backgrounds, but also a variety of perspectives, experiences, and values.
In order to experience these differences as an enrichment, tolerance, empathy, and an open culture of communication are essential. Our project “11 Friends” addresses exactly this: Through an adventurous and educationally guided process, participants learn to break down prejudices and build trust.
The focus is not only on getting to know each other, but on actively growing together despite existing differences. The successful concept phase has been completed, and our operational project partner will soon be announced. We look forward to discovering new ways together with all participants to show how friendship can succeed in a diverse society.
A legacy of change, collaboration, and hope across the globe.
