With the help of the position, new offers and event formats in the area of integration and intercultural youth education are to be developed. In this way, the high attractiveness of the central library as a meeting place and location with Internet access is intended to integrate young people, some of whom are socially disadvantaged or have problems, even more strongly than before into a cultural and educational context and provide them with suggestions as well as assistance for their personal development and coping with life. The two-year streetwork project will be funded with 120,000 euros from the 2018 municipal budget. The Vector Foundation, which is based in Weilimdorf, is involved in sustainability research, education and social issues.
Streetwork project position to be expanded
The municipal council has accepted the Vector Foundation’s grant of 33,700 euros for youth cultural library work in the Mobile Youth Work Europaviertel project and instructed the administration to invest the money in a new part-time position at the municipal library on Mailänder Platz. The existing 50 percent position can thus be increased by 30 percent until the end of the project in February 2020.
