Empowering Young Women Across Borders: The Wiesbaden International Project

Wiesbaden, Germany - The city of Wiesbaden has recently hosted an empowering event for young women as part of the Erasmus+ funded project, "Cross-border empowerment of young women in Wiesbaden." This project, which seems to be connected to the intercultural network known as Wiesbaden International, aims to foster cultural exchange and integration.

The project, led by Dr. Patricia Becher, the Social Affairs Commissioner, brought together participants from two countries. During the event, these young people presented self-designed creative works showcasing their ideas for a fair society to Dr. Becher. The encounter included workshops about gender roles and stereotypes, joint creative projects, and excursions promoting exchange and new perspectives.

The project, which emphasized the mutual empowerment and strengthening of young women across borders, was the result of a close cooperation between the Wilhelm-Heinrich-von-Riehl School's support association and a Greek partner organization, Filoxenia. Both partners are committed to issues such as equality, environmental issues, and remembrance work.

Filoxenia is an intercultural environmental and education network from Kryoneri, Greece. The partnership between these two organizations reflects a shared vision for promoting cross-border collaboration and empowerment.

The official event ended with a group photo and the ceremonial handover of participation certificates. The tour led by Dr. Becher included historical rooms of the town hall, such as the original 1887 staircase, gallery of mayors, and city council chamber.
