Participation is free of charge.

As part of the EU project WAVE II, we are inviting experts in intercultural youth, educational and social work from Cologne and the region to an inspiring exchange of methods with partner organizations from Italy, Serbia and Greece.

You will learn about innovative and creative methods from various European contexts that are particularly suitable for working with young people with an international family history. Democracy education and participation are combined with artistic and movement-oriented approaches – including improvisational theater, portrait drawing, photography, music and sporting elements.

The workshop offers the opportunity to try out practical methods, get to know international perspectives and take away new impulses for your own practice – compact, practical and in personal exchange with colleagues from the partner countries.

You will also be provided with plenty of coffee and cake for the duration of the workshop.

Note:
On Friday, June 12, 2026 from 3:00 p.m., the public closing event of the EU project WAVE II will take place at the same location with interactive exchange formats with young people, politicians and international project partners. You are also cordially invited to attend.
