We serve many families with a migration background and by the employment of volunteers we want to intensify intercultural understanding and develop tolerance capability towards other mentality. We understand the volunteer year as a challenge to go on to a new crossing borders (European, language, culture). Transcultural exchange is to be lived. In addition, we can reflect our own work and the effect on new, previously uninvolved employees. So we want to combine learning and teaching. The sustainability of the project is guaranted by the environmental experience, climate and nature conservation as well as the intercultural experience.
