People from all parts of the world come to Hamburg to enrich the city with their culture, their religion, their languages and traditions. Anyway, parents from abroad do not understand every routine and topic in our schools, e. g. swimming lessons, school trips or sex education. On the other side, teachers do not have an understanding for every religious or cultural need of their students, e.g. religious festivals or periods of fasting. In this session we will share experience about how to cope with matters which appear unfamiliar to migrant parents.

LGBTQ youth often face specific challenges as they navigate through adolescence. In addition, they are at increased risk of experiencing homelessness and are disproportionately represented in juvenile justice and child welfare systems in comparison to straight and cisgender peers. Given these experiences, there is a great need to better understand how to intentionally create safe and affirming services that can respond to these risks and improve outcomes.

Today more than 100 thousand Ukrainian children live in orphanages and institutions and grow up in a limited social environment. For older orphaned and abandoned children who emancipate from state institutions, caring adult mentors can help with developing essential life skills, emotional literacy, workforce readiness, finding internships and jobs, and improve their economic self-sufficiency. For this vulnerable youth, Kidsave has developed the Pathways to Success Program, which combines Individual and Corporate Mentoring.
