Sponsors wanted - Students take on one-year sponsorships for children with a migration background or in "special life situations".

In October, the sponsorship projects "Projekt K" and "Kultur Kids Nordstadt" will start again, in which student teachers and students of social work take on a one-year sponsorship for a child in a "special life situation" or with a migration background. The sponsors are accompanied by the university with a seminar and a supervision event. The project leads to the completion of a complete module and receipt of a certificate. Applications are possible as of now.

Through the sponsorships, the children gain access to social areas that would otherwise remain closed to them. For the children, participation in the projects means broadening their horizons as well as the opportunity for intercultural learning. Educational barriers are broken down, the social and cultural space of experience is enlarged, and the children's general and environmental knowledge is expanded. The children are individually encouraged and supported.

For the students, participation in the projects offers the opportunity to gain insights into children's worlds that do not necessarily correspond to their own childhood experiences. This gives the students a new perspective on the problematic situations and the heterogeneous life worlds of today's children. Students can gain experience in a continuous, autonomous field of practice and practice cooperation with other educational institutions, parents and teachers.
