Our Actions

In Germany, BSF installed an Ideas Box in Düsseldorf in 2016, a city that welcomed a significant proportion of refugees who arrived in 2015-2016, to support their social, educational, and professional integration. This meeting space enabled recreational and creative activities, such as workshops on stereotypes culminating in a collective graffiti mural, and the photography project “Ankommen und Leben in Düsseldorf” (Arriving and Living in Düsseldorf), where refugees expressed their vision of the city and showed that integration is both a social and personal process.
