"Cross-national Gathering of German-Greek Females" or "German-Greek Girls Unite Across Borders"
Empowering Young Girls Through the Erasmus+ Funded Project "Wiesbaden International"
The city of Wiesbaden, Germany, is hosting an inspiring project that aims to encourage young girls and promote topics such as equality, environmental awareness, and remembrance work. This project, known as "Wiesbaden International," is a collaboration between the support association of the Wilhelm-Heinrich-von-Riehl School and the Greek partner organization Filoxenia.
Funded by the EU program Erasmus+, this project is part of Wiesbaden's initiative to promote international youth and expert encounters. The official press release for this project can be found on the Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden's website at https://www.wiesbaden.de/pressereferat.
During the project, participants presented self-designed creative works with their ideas and wishes for a just society to the commissioner. The encounter resulted in mutual empowerment and strengthening of young women across borders, as reported by the participants themselves.
The project's focus on equality, environmental issues, and remembrance work aligns with Erasmus+'s broader goals of promoting social inclusion and equality among youth across Europe. The inclusion of remembrance work suggests an element of historical or cultural education, possibly to build awareness of past struggles for equality and the environment, thereby inspiring sustained activism and reflection.
The reception focused on presentations by young people about their encounter, which included workshops on gender roles, creative projects, and excursions. The tour of the town hall included historic rooms, the original staircase from 1887, a gallery of mayors, and the city council chamber. The official event ended with a group photo and the ceremonial handover of participation certificates.
Both partners are committed to these issues and are involved in an inter-cultural environmental and education network from Kryoneri. Social Affairs Commissioner Dr. Patricia Becher emphasized in her speech that the project encourages girls to think beyond borders, ask questions, and take a stand. The project inspires as it takes courage to do so.
