Youth activities: resilience and hope for the future

We helped 90 young people this summer to build their resilience and learn life and work skills, as part of the STEP Program. Then in two adventure camps, 50 of these teenagers went kayaking, had art therapy and even helped with environment action. The two adventure camps were made possible by BILD hilft e.V. ‘Ein Herz für Kinder’. The new confidence and ideas continued when the teenagers went on to organise events in their own communities!
