With Children Win, Terre des Hommes has launched a project that addresses the negative aspects of major sporting events on children's lives. The aim is to make those responsible for such events aware of their responsibilities. In the future, they should already plan measures against their negative consequences when awarding and preparing for such events.
The Barfüsserplatz is still sleeping. But that will soon change. The imaginefestival will take place on the weekend (6/7 June). We at terre des hommes schweiz are looking forward to the concentrated load of music almost as much as the imagine-team itself and the motto "Simply variety!" gives hope for surprises off the stage
For terre des hommes schweiz, the beginning of June is always a special time. That is when the imaginefestival takes place. The commitment and creativity with which the young people from imagine deal with socially relevant topics is impressive every year. On Friday, the imagine-Team published the programme and has musical delicacies in store for the visitors.
The end of the year is the time when people usually look back. This was a good opportunity to ask Sabin Müller, responsible for domestic projects, a few questions about last year's pilot project with the unaccompanied asylum seekers of the Lilienberg Centre. In the interview she explains why the project goals were more than achieved.
The young people of imagine experienced a special honour last week: With the schappo, the canton of Basel-Stadt honoured their commitment in everyday life for a more open society. The commission especially likes the participatory approach of imagine. Year after year, the young people show that their commitment has an impact.
Meanwhile the sparrows are whistling it from the roofs: Starting tomorrow, Thursday, imagine - the festival against racism will be among the winners of schappo. This prize is awarded by the canton of Basel-Stadt to initiatives that stand out for their special commitment. terre des hommes schweiz congratulates the young people on this award.
Last Saturday, the cooperation between terre des hommes schweiz and the MNA Centre Lilienberg reached a preliminary climax: At a peaceful and beautiful autumn festival, the young asylum seekers presented their home countries to the visitors.
terre des hommes switzerland invites
The centre for unaccompanied minor asylum seekers in Affoltern will open its doors on Saturday 19 October and invites you to visit. In addition to the opportunity to find out how the young people live at the Lilienberg Centre, they will present the results of their imagine-workshop "What is home?" to the visitors on this day.
Young asylum seekers who are in Switzerland without their parents or other persons with custody have worked out their answers and presentations on this question together with Swiss young people from imagine. Next week, the young people will now present their home countries during a tour of the Zurich Säuliamt.
imagine and terre des hommes schweiz participated together in the awareness raising event STEP into action. While imagine worked with the pupils in a workshop, terre des hommes schweiz' morphing module provided entertainment during the breaks.
