Yeni Hayatim - My new life

Nowadays a lot of women still don't know the feeling of freedom in our society. Therefore the Lower Saxony crisis telephone against forced marriage / kargah e.V. developed the project "Yeni Hayatim - My new life". The project was carried out from February 2008 until the end of the year.

After the financing of the project was secured, the youth center Mühlenberg, the leisure center Mühlenberg "Weiße Rose" and the IGS Mühlenberg found that they are willing to cooperate. The activities that were conducted within the project and the reflection of the participants are held on the present DVD

This intercultural and sociocultural participation project should show how diverse the possibility is to make your own life independently and without constraint. The participants aged 13 to 16 years learnt, among other things in role-playing games, dancing and a trip to a high rope course, to be free, strong and independent and to say "no".
