The motto was... <em>\u201eBorders &amp; Bridges\u201d <\/em>The participants from Poland, Belgium, Croatia and Germany creatively explored the meaning of borders and connections in a personal, social and political context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project focused on the core values and goals of the Erasmus+ program. It promoted intercultural learning, social inclusion, creative thinking, and active European engagement. Central to the project were questions such as: What divides us \u2013 what unites us? Where do visible or invisible boundaries lie in our world, in our society, and within ourselves? And how can we build bridges \u2013 through understanding, encounters, and collaborative creation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In artistic workshops using painting, photography, theater, and music\/songwriting, the young people developed creative answers to these questions. The artistic methods offered space for personal expression, an intensive engagement with the topic, and the shared experience of cultural diversity as a resource. This interdisciplinary work not only strengthened creativity but also the ability to perceive different perspectives and productively connect them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One key focus of the excursion was the visit to Bernauer Stra\u00dfe in Berlin and the Berlin Wall Memorial. There, the topic was discussed. <em>\u201eLimits\u201d<\/em> The historical context made it tangible. Participants had the opportunity to reflect on the division of Berlin, its overcoming, and the significance of freedom, democracy, and cohesion \u2013 values that remain of central importance in Europe today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide BlockBilderLayout has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-794e3cfa wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column float-in-left is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/wannseeforum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Borders-Bridges_SimoneHaeckel-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wannseeforum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Borders-Bridges_SimoneHaeckel-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wannseeforum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Borders-Bridges_SimoneHaeckel-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wannseeforum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Borders-Bridges_SimoneHaeckel-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wannseeforum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Borders-Bridges_SimoneHaeckel.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Impressions from the seminar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The encounter at the wannseeFORUM allowed the young people to experience themselves as active shapers of a shared European future. At a time of increasing social divisions and political challenges, the project made an important contribution to promoting tolerance, solidarity, and cultural diversity. Language barriers were quickly overcome through everyday interaction, workshops, and shared leisure activities \u2013 genuine encounters took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the workshop, the results were presented in a public presentation. The artistic contributions reflected the diversity of approaches and experiences and demonstrated how creative engagement can build bridges between people from different countries and backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the \u201eInternational Easter Workshop 2025\u201d, wannseeFORUM has once again created a space where young people can learn, create and grow together across borders in the spirit of the European idea and the goals of Erasmus+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);margin-bottom:0\">\n<p class=\"has-cyan-cobald-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wannseeforum.de\/en\/jahresberichte\/jahresbericht2024\/#inhaltsverzeichnis\">Go to table of contents<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull annual-report-footer has-base-color has-cyan-cobald-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-2 has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-f045ee3a wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-85dd5d2d wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wannseeforum.de\/en\/jahresberichte\/jahresbericht2024\/#inhaltsverzeichnis\">Table of contents<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wannseeforum.de\/en\/service\/#publikationen\">All annual reports<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":23816,"parent":22628,"menu_order":20,"template":"","report_year":[4286],"class_list":["post-23567","annual_report","type-annual_report","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","report_year-4286"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.7 (Yoast SEO v28.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u201eBorders &amp; Bridges\u201d - wannseeFORUM<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wannseeforum.de\/en\/jahresberichte\/jahresbericht2024\/borders-bridges\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"\u201eBorders &amp; Bridges\u201d\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Eine durch Erasmus+ gef\u00f6rderte Jugendbegegnung im wannseeFORUM Berlin.
