About us
Neue
Bruecke e. V. is a non-partisan and non-denominational
association that has been active since 2004 in the fields of child,
youth, family and cultural work through a variety of projects and
events in Cologne and the surrounding area. In addition, Neue Bruecke
e. V. advises supraregional social institutions, youth welfare
agencies, municipalities and educational institutions on
intercultural issues and cooperates with them.
We
build bridges for mutual understanding, the development of
alternative options for action, a change of perspective to change
stereotypical thought patterns and decisions, and help to counteract
one's own uncertainties and fears. We do this with the help of
training courses, seminars and workshops in the areas of
transcultural understanding and communication.
Our
employees have their own migration background to a large extent. In
addition to their professional know-how and linguistic diversity,
they have experience and practice in integration, youth welfare,
senior citizens' work, adult education and/or migration, refugee and
project work.
Our
linguistic, cultural and religious diversity also makes it necessary
for us to reflect and constantly expand our limited views, patterns
of action, role models and pedagogical, nursing-care and
methodological approaches.
To
make this possible, we hold regular in-house training courses with
all our employees, focusing on self-reflection and team processes.
This enables us to develop trustworthy approaches to individuals in
the field of children's, youth, faculty and senior citizens'
assistance, to carry out authentic seminars and to initiate cultural
projects in which fun and joy can be experienced.
The
aim of our work is to support people in growing beyond their own
social-social concept of culture and to confront cultural diversity
with openness, interest and curiosity for young and old.
