The applicant and host organization Zeit!Raum is a social-profit organization which was founded more than 20 years ago (1995) and has continued to expand its fields of work. The first principles of our organization are social fairness, equal opportunities, solidarity and tolerance – also constitute the targets and orientation for the diverse tasks in our daily work. Beginning with pre-school activities to the point of generation overlapping work, the association accompanies and supports people of all age groups. Seeing others perspectives, listening to their concerns, creating new spaces of interaction, taking time to implement new ideas – lifelong and border crossing – this has successfully been done in many sectors. Zeit!Raum links its practical everyday experiences with international exchange and scientific monitoring. In the past years Zeit!Raum has established a social scientific and project accompanying research sector. Integration and re-integration are main issues relating to the problems confronted by society. Zeit!Raum is active in children and youth work, cultural and social work, refugee and asylum seeker counselling, research and development. The aim of our work is the furthering, support and assistance through intercultural, integrative and transgenerational cooperation.
