Kulturbrücke Hamburg
Dear friends of the Kulturbrücke,
It's been almost a week since our graduation ceremony and because it was so beautiful, it is high time to review everything again.
It was really a great and fun celebration, full of varied, artistic performances and speeches.
We had the dance group "Apocalypso" from the Hip Hop Academy, Toto Lightmann with the entire children's group and rap fugees as guests!
We would like to thank everyone who came and supported us!

Review of our summer vacation program 2019
The summer holidays are just over and our holiday program as part of our “Switch Kids Art” project as well as our classic “Switch Kids” children's culture exchange ends.
The children loved it and we had a lot of fun with it. We are proud of the nearly 300 children who took part in our summer programs this year and are looking forward to the next time!
More information is available on our blog.
New project "Switch Tutor" started successfully!
We started our new project in March 2019 and have achieved great success so far!
Switch Tutor offers refugee children regular homework supervision and interdisciplinary tutoring. And that directly in the accommodations. The support is carried out by committed students.
The number of participants is steadily increasing and that gives us the courage to continue in order to be able to support more children with refugee experience.
