Supporting education means reducing poverty, creating local perspectives and giving children a future in their home countries. That is the aim of the joint initiative “1000 Schulen für unsere Welt” (1000 schools for our world) from the German Association of Cities and Towns (Deutscher Städtetag), the German County Association (Deutscher Landkreistag) and the German Association of Towns and Municipalities (Deutscher Städte- und Gemeindebund) together with the patron Dr. Ing. Gerd Müller, Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, started today in Berlin.
Cities, counties and communities together with their citizens and the local economy want to make an effective contribution to development cooperation, the fight against the causes of flight and the improvement of life situations in countries of the Global South.
At the invitation of District Administrator Stefan Rößle we traveled to Berlin to attend the kick-off event of the initiative.
