Our association's work consists of political public relations, information and educational work with the aim of sensitising society to a solidary and mutually respectful cooperation.

In recent years, the focus of our projects has been on supporting and advising asylum seekers and on carrying out educational work at memorial sites.

For us as - at that time still young people - committed people who had no experience whatsoever in implementing and financing projects, but were bursting with ideas, enthusiasm and activism, the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation was a great and reliable support, especially in the early years from 2007 onwards.

Regardless of how crazy one of our project ideas was, as teenagers and young adults we always felt that the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation took us seriously and gave us good advice. This was the only way to establish, stabilise and make a name for ourselves as an association in the region.

As a result, thanks to the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation and its low-threshold application and accounting procedure, we were able to carry out numerous projects in the district of Leipzig between 2007 and 2016.

One example is the project event "Fascism - yesterday, today, never again!", which lasted several days and initiated and intensified our association work. This was followed by many more projects and workshop series on various global and socio-political topics: The monthly "Flimmerstunde", in which a selected film was shown followed by a discussion round; the "KrimsKrams-Festival" and the memorial trips to the former concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz are still vivid in our memories and have left a deep impression on us.

We were always able to rely on the financial support of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, but the possibility of borrowing technology free of charge from the offices of the Landesstiftung was also a great support for us as a small association.

In addition to our project work, members of the association have been able to further their education and networking over the years thanks to various educational programmes offered by the foundation such as the "Process Map Course" or the "CAMPUS for World-Changing Practice". The acquired skills and abilities flowed directly into the work of the association and thus represent an absolute added value for the association.

Finally, it should not be left unmentioned that in 2011 we helped to establish the Youth Education Advisory Board of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation Saxony e.V. in joint cooperation.
