Creative learning in workshops

Our workshops foster creative and solution-oriented action with head, heart, and hands. Whether photography, rap, theater, or programming: in small groups, you'll create your own works on socially relevant topics. Barrier-free access and diverse seminar formats invite you to explore new perspectives and develop your own projects in our key areas:

Learning through international encounters

In our international workshops, you'll work creatively with peers from other countries. You'll exchange ideas and experience democratic action through active collaboration. The Erasmus+ program supports us in this endeavor. We work within European networks and, since 2019, have held the Council of Europe's " Quality Label for Youth Centres ," which stands for human rights education.

Strengthening children's and youth participation, in Berlin and in the EU

Participation is very important to us. Children's and youth parliaments and youth councils from Berlin's districts meet regularly at our center. We actively participate in the European Union's Youth Dialogue . For example, we invite politicians to discussions with young people. As a municipal project related to the Youth Dialogue, we are represented in the National Working Group.

We look forward to collaborating with your group of children, teenagers, and young adults aged 8 to 27, whom you support as an independent organization.
