Trainer for "Bridging Cultures" Project

From the 8th of September until the 19th of October 2015 "Bridging Cultures" will be held at secondary schools in Berlin. After the successful implementation of the project since 2010 and upon the request of many teachers, we have decided to organize this intercultural workshop again. The two-day workshops are divided into several lessons, and deal with themes of globalisation, the MDGs and key socio-political issues of the so-called developing continents of Africa, Asia and South America.

This year special themes to be discussed in the various schools during the workshops and programme are:- Migration and Integration
- Nations between tradition and change
- Ethic diversity
- Women and leadership
