About us
Neue
Bruecke e. V. sees itself as a transcultural institution that
establishes connections between individual lifestyles, different
cultures and different languages.
The
bridge is a place that encounters cultural difference and diversity
through mindful interaction and integrative actions and experiences
them as an enrichment and challenge.
We
are an international and interdisciplinary team of people with and
without a migration background or their own escape biography who have
developed a common understanding and action for transcultural social
and relationship work.
We
always meet other people, concepts of life and cultures at eye level
in order to open our eyes to potential and resources - irrespective
of gender, age, social status, nationality, religion, mental or
physical impairment or educational development. We take the
individuality and seriousness of people seriously.
We
believe that bridges have to be crossed on both sides - through
respectful and trusting encounters, transparency and constant
communication, exchange of experiences and an understanding beyond
spoken language.
The
aim is to develop an idea of oneself - or to become aware of oneself
and one's own effectiveness and resources. This also includes
learning something about oneself through the other, discovering
creative scope and freedom of decision making as well as the effects
of one's own actions. We not only want to initiate processes, but
also create sustainable changes.
In
order to achieve this goal, we make use of the four pillars of our
organisational culture: respect, openness, recognition and equality.
We
want to help people learn to deal with everyday racism and thus help
them to experience empowerment, self-efficacy and the positive
shaping of their own life plans.
The
implementation and safeguarding of equal opportunities and equity is
a consistent guiding principle of our institution.
We
also want to build bridges between the generations. We also look at
migration with a view to the lifestyles of older people.
Our
cross-generational perspective is not only reflected in our
transcultural social responsibility - we also take up this vision in
our team structures and thus promote the future and new generations
of social workers and socially committed people, so that Neue Bruecke
e. V. is always also the future.
Our
multi-generational thinking builds a bridge between the generations,
creates perspectives and role models and can be experienced through
our mission statement. Our work is movement, professionalism,
creativity, curiosity, fun, challenge and quality. We create space,
time and space to initiate new ideas and implement them through
projects.
We
achieve this through appreciative, participatory and attentive
cooperation as well as a high degree of care, reliability, structural
transparency and openness. In doing so, error-friendliness also
creates the space for joint learning, reflection and further
development.
We
see people as the most important resource.
All
employees actively participate in in-house training courses to
initiate team, design and reflection processes on transcultural and
anti-discriminatory attitudes. The annual scope of this training
course comprises at least 32 hours.
We
see ourselves as a process-oriented organisation - we are constantly
learning by gaining further knowledge, insights and experiences
through other cultures and lifestyles, integrating them into our
pedagogical and social work and constantly questioning, discussing
and further developing our own actions.
Whenever
possible, we "knit" tailor-made offers for and with people
and their organisations and institutions. We attach great importance
to quality, sustainability and supply of these services. We assume
professional responsibility for our team and each individual.
Our
mission statement is not static, but a continuous and common process
of understanding between our team, the people we support and the
current social requirements.
