The refugee minors experience enormous psychological distress. While they themselves have managed to flee, their families are often still living in war and crisis zones, so that they are primarily homesick and worried. At the same time, they want to settle in Germany, learn the language, and attend school. But this process cannot always happen as quickly as would be desirable. Therefore, it is important to offer these young refugees not only the pedagogical and organizational assistance provided by the staff of Jugendwohnen Kladow, but something to keep them busy during their leisure time

The workshops are designed to enable the boys to express themselves and to cope with their experiences through music and drawing in the safe space of the facility, and at the same time to discover the city and make contact with the people outside. This also enables them to more effectively learn German. Residents of Jugendwohnen Kladow and neighbors are to participate in equal numbers in the artist-led workshops. The results of the workshop will be presented, and celebrated with a party, at Jugendwohnen Kladow.
