🎉 Es geht weiter!

Unser Workshop-Projekt TANZENDER STERN erhält eine Anschlussförderung und startet ab sofort in die zweite Runde! Gemeinsam mit Schüler*innen, Lehrkräften und Eltern setzen wir uns weiter für ein differenziertes Bild von ADHS ein – gegen Stigmatisierung, für Mut und Empathie!

✨ Darum geht es bei TANZENDER STERN:

⭐ Differenziert über ADHS aufklären – mit all seinen Herausforderungen, aber auch Chancen und Ressourcen
⭐ Selbstwert und Zusammenhalt von Schüler*innen mit und ohne ADHS stärken
⭐ Eltern und Lehrkräfte mit hilfreichen Strategien beim Umgang mit ADHS entlasten
⭐ Für eine inklusive Gesellschaft werben, in der individuelle Stärken zur Entfaltung kommen

Dies erreichen wir mit kostenlosen Workshops für Schulklassen, Eltern und Lehrkräfte

💡 Ein Jahr TANZENDER STERN – das ist bisher passiert:

✅ 10 theaterpädagogische Klassen-Workshops – spielerisch, erlebnisorientiert und abwechslungsreich
✅ 5 Lehrkräfte-Fortbildungen – Wissen & konkrete Strategien für den Schulalltag
✅ 2 Elternabende mit fachlichem Input und gegenseitigem Austausch
✅ ~250 Schülerinnen, 100+ Lehrkräfte und ~50 Eltern haben wir erreicht
✅ Entwickelt gemeinsam mit drei Psychologinnen und einer Theaterpädagogin

Gesine Stauch is our new project manager, we are super happy to have her!

Gesine will manage our latest project, in which we create a city rally for students in Berlin about traces of the German-Namibian colonial history. 🇳🇦

Gesine completed her B.A. in Political Science at FU Berlin. She focused on the intersections of race and gender with capitalist and (neo-)colonial exploitation. She considers it crucial to raise awareness of Germany’s violent colonial history through political education. Gesine enjoys dancing, reading and partner acrobatics. If there weren´t so many podcasts already, she might start one to talk about queerfeminist perspectives on romance books and series. 📚🎤

Welcome, Gesine!🙌🏻

Colonial traces - Easter in Honduras

In Honduras, Easter is experienced with great intensity and is widely celebrated. Catholic festivities were introduced and spread across the country during Spanish colonial rule and merged, over the centuries, with the traditions of indigenous peoples, such as the Lenca, giving rise to a religious syncretism.

During Semana Santa (Holy Week), various celebrations take place: white is the dominant color on Holy Thursday (Jueves Santo), while Good Friday (Viernes Santo) is marked by the Santo Entierro procession, which typically winds through the main streets of the capital, Tegucigalpa, and many other cities. On this day, processions wind their way along a route paved with alfombras de aserrín (carpets made of colored sawdust, seeds, and colored materials). Entire streets are transformed into temporary works of art depicting religious scenes. The one held in Comayagua is particularly famous.

For Easter, various traditional dishes are prepared throughout the country, such as sopa marinera (a fish soup) and pescado frito (fried fish).
For dessert, people enjoy torrejas en miel, a traditional treat made from bread soaked in milk, eggs and cinnamon, then fried and served with honey or brown sugar. Another popular dish is ayote en miel, consisting of squash cooked in a sweet syrup made from panela (unrefined brown sugar) and spices. Best enjoyed with a buena taza de café!

Thank you to our volunteer Martina for the research!

International Mother Language Day - 21.02.:

International Mother Language Day was established by the UNESCO General Conference on November 17, 1999, and has been celebrated every February 21 since 2000, with the aim of promoting linguistic and cultural diversity.

Did you know that at the school Baumgartsbrunn in Namibia, students are taught both in English and Khoekhoegowab? In celebration of International Mother Language Day, let’s learn more about this language!

Khoekhoegowab (also known as Khoekhoe or Nama/Damara) belongs to the Khoisan language family, which is characterized by the use of click consonants. The use of Khoekhoegowab is mainly concentrated in the southern regions of Namibia, where it is spoken by the Nama and Damara communities.
Khoekhoegowab is recognized as one of the thirteen national languages in Namibia: it is widely used in education at all levels, as well as on the radio. It is estimated to be spoken by more than 200,000 people!

An interesting fact: the name of the country is derived from the word “Namib”, which describes a vast open space. What else to say? Gangans (thank you) and !Gâise !gû re (Good-bye)!

Thank you to our volunteer Martina for the research!

Some impressions from 2025

At the daycare center “Pasos Pequeñitos” in Honduras, children of single parents have been cared for lovingly and educational workshops for parents have been implemented in 2025.

The vocational preparation center “Talleres” in Honduras has been providing professional training for adolescents in different branches.

At the school “Baumgartsbrunn” in Namibia, students and teachers have been building a vegetable garden and continuing their school education.

The schools St. Nicolas and St. Emma in Haiti have provided a safe space and quality education for more than 600 children despite the dangerous situation. Thank you to the 24 good deeds Advent calendar for their support!

We started the project “Tanzender Stern” (“Dancing Star”) in Germany, bringing workshops for students, teachers and parents to schools that are especially beneficial for children with ADHD.

As a follow-up to our computer learning game “Jeannes Reise”, we have developed accompanying educational materials that facilitate the integration into school lessons. Thank you to Joseph Ferdinand, Martin Reimer, Mathias Herrmann and Milena Jung for their valuable work!

Thank you so much for your support that enables us to continue our valuable work!

📢 News from Honduras!
At the program „Talleres", for all students from grades 7 to 9, half of the school week is dedicated to academic subjects and the other half to vocational workshops in areas such as carpentry, tailoring, metalwork, electrics, car repair, and beauty.
The trainees sell the products that they have created. This not only generates economic profit, but also involves the young people in the entire process, from manufacturing to advertising and sale. It also boosts the adolescents' self-esteem when they see first-hand how other people admire their work and that it is entirely possible to earn a living from high-quality craftsmanship.
After passing the final exams, the trainees receive a state-recognised vocational certificate followed by an eight-week work placement in professional workshops. The practical experience helps the adolescents to be better prepared for an independent future by giving them tangible work experience in a profession.
The recognised certificate gives graduates a clear advantage on the job market, helping to reduce poverty and strengthen the local economy through better-trained professionals.
