Crossing Borders: Encounter of German-Greek Female Youth
In the heart of Wiesbaden, Germany, a unique project titled "Cross-border empowerment of young women" recently took place. This initiative, part of the "Wiesbaden International" programme, aimed to foster mutual empowerment and strengthen young women across borders.
The event, funded by the EU program Erasmus+, was a collaboration between the support association of the Wilhelm-Heinrich-von-Riehl School and the Greek partner organization, Filoxenia. Dr. Patricia Becher, the Social Affairs Commissioner, welcomed guests from two countries at the town hall, which served as the venue for the encounter.
The official event began with a tour led by Dr. Becher, showcasing historic rooms of the town hall, including the original 1887 staircase, the gallery of mayors, and the city council chamber. The reception that followed focused on presentations by young people, who shared their experiences from workshops about gender roles, creative projects, and excursions.
Dr. Becher emphasized the importance of encouraging girls to think beyond borders, ask questions, and take a stand. The young participants echoed this sentiment, reporting on the empowerment and strengthening of young women across borders. The encounter concluded with a group photo and the ceremonial handover of participation certificates.
The Press Office of the state capital Wiesbaden published this press release, located at Schlossplatz 6, 65183 Wiesbaden. For any questions regarding the project, citizens can contact the responsible department or office of the state capital Wiesbaden.
