STAEpolSEL is a German acronym and stands for strengthening political self assertion and civic engagement. With this project, we are pursuing the goal of creating cooperation, access and meeting spaces for individuals with an international history with a connection to or interest in civic engagement and voluntary work. We focus in particular on strengthening self confidence and assertiveness of young people, as well as acting for migrant organisations in networking to and cultural exchange with civil society organisations of the majority society.
