brotZeit e.V.: What a breakfast does

The brotZeit association has been helping children since 2009 with something they take for granted - breakfast. According to a recent Allensbach study, one in ten children in Germany comes to class hungry. In the hotspot schools where brotZeit is active, the number is significantly higher. The association feeds more than 10,600 children at 225 schools throughout Germany every day and has already distributed 8.6 million breakfasts. Around 1,300 senior volunteers look after the elementary and special needs students. They not only prepare the buffet, but are also contact persons, mediators and substitute grandparents all in one. According to surveys among the school principals concerned, the performance and social behavior of the students improve significantly when they can eat a balanced breakfast together in the morning while being lovingly looked after.

Hamburg and Berlin with "Die Arche" – Trampoline jumping and boulder climbing to your heart’s content

2017 marked the second year that Projektron supported the “Die Arche – Christliches Kinder und Jugendwerk e. V.” children’s welfare organization in implementing a wide variety of meaningful recreational activities for children from underprivileged families. In Hamburg, “Die Arche Friedrichshain” organized a camp for teenagers. 15 participants came together to explore the topic of identity and enjoy a great time at the JUMP House. In Berlin, 27 children visited an indoor climbing gym to test their boulder climbing skills. Since it is an established fact that children are much better at climbing, they didn’t really have a hard time mastering the various climbing routes. All in all, the two wonderful activities held a lot of fun and joy for the children and teenagers involved.

Exhibition project: I AM DATA

The I AM DATA exhibition project organized by Master’s students in the "Museum and Exhibition" program at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg focused on the ubiquity of data. Divided into eleven topic areas and focusing on issues relating to increasing connectivity and faster communication, the exhibition explored the influence that data has on our daily lives, human beings in general and their perception of their environment. One of the highlights of the exhibition was that the students succeeded in visualizing the immense flood of data that generally eludes our grasp, giving bits and bytes a face. Projektron was one of the sponsors of the exhibition project held in spring 2017.

Recreational activities in Saxon Switzerland and Berlin – Fall break with the “Die Arche” children’s project

"Die Arche – Christliches Kinder- und Jugendwerk e. V." offers varied and exciting recreational activities for children from underprivileged families. Projektron supported two of these activities in October 2016. During a fall camp in Saxon Switzerland, 18 teenagers from "Die Arche Friedrichshain" and "Die Arche Reinickendorf" in Berlin participated in an outdoor educational activity at a ropes course. In another activity, 30 children from Berlin enjoyed an autumn walk before stopping off at a bowling alley. These two splendid holiday activities gave the children and youths plenty of opportunity to test their courage and let off some steam.
