Berlin Germany ESC European Solidarity

Berlin Germany ESC European Solidarity aims to promote dialogue between young people of diverse backgrounds, increase cultural awareness and empower young people to be active European citizens. VISIONEERS has developed an increasing array of programs especially in support of refugee teenagers from Ukraine situated in Germany. For example, we manage a German school for teenagers who do not have a space in a German school. The focus of this training is on German language instruction, targeted exchange between German nationals and the newcomers, and demonstrating that Berlin is a place of opportunity and a bright future. VISIONEERS collaborates closely with refugee shelters, churches and other locally based organizations.
