Just a moment ago there was still a market and a short time later everything is ready: The imagine festival is already in the starting blocks. Next weekend (June 12th/13th) we from terre des hommes schweiz can look forward to a concentrated load of music and youth culture. The motto "Counter-movement: Encounter opens up a lot of scope and, surprisingly, invites you to all kinds of encounters.
Do you know the group NØ MERCY from Glarus? NØ MERCY is a small group of teenagers and young adults we did not know before. Nevertheless, on 23.03.2015 Markus Bütler and Sascha Tankerville were allowed to accept a check worth 4050 Swiss francs. Many thanks for the support!
They are just as interested in music and sport as Swiss young people. And yet the unaccompanied underage asylum seekers from the MNA Centre Lilienberg live in the shadows of the public. On Saturday, 23 August, a summer party gave the local population the opportunity to get to know the young people. And they also took advantage of this opportunity.
Invitation:
On Saturday 23 August 2014, more than 70 unaccompanied asylum-seeking young people from the Lilienberg Centre in Affoltern am Albis invite all those interested to their self-organised summer party. The party is intended to provide an opportunity to get to know the young people in a relaxed atmosphere. After last year's open day, this is the second event of this project with underage migrants in Affoltern.
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.
