betterplace.org is an open platform on which anyone can upload their project. We recommend that you support this project, especially if you know the project responsible, an advocate or visitor to the project, or perhaps you know the organisation, or a friend has recommended it to you - and because you feel that the project is meaningful and worthwhile supporting.
"Hintertorperspektive e.V." is an organization of young German football fans, dedicated to the club FC Carl Zeiss Jena. We believe, that football can be an effective tool of social work to literally overcome borders, build bridges and tear down walls. As a part of our integrative model of social work practice, we organize intercultural football tournaments e.g. in refugee hostels and public youth clubs. We also offer project days at public schools. Those events enable their participants to meet and connect with others from a different cultural background, and encounter existing stereotypes. The common goal of all our projects is to battle ignorance and racism among youths, not only on the football ground.

With your donation, you help us to cover the costs for transportation and maintenance of our mobile Street Soccer Arena, for information material as well as for little presents for the kids, such as footballs, shirts, or some pencils.
