Private lessons and coaching could improve the educational chances of many schoolkids in Berlin from a migration background. At the same time students show an enormous potential of social engagement. Schülerpaten Berlin e.V. brings both voluntary students and children with Arab roots together. By placing students as tutors for the children the project seeks to pave the way for better educational opportunities and to enhance intercultural exchange. The students will attend two seminars before teaching the kids in order to acquire some basic educational skills and an understanding of the Arab world. A group of scholars of the “Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft”(SDW) developed the idea in 2009. In the future Photocircle will support the training and placement of further tutors with Schülerpaten Berlin e.V. as a partner.
