VKII Ruhr District e.V.

Our voluntary work is committed to equal opportunities and educational equality regardless (!) of religious or ethnic background. Only through genuine participation can equal opportunities and educational equality reach everyone. We focus on Black people, the African/African diasporic community and marginalized groups, as well as diasporic communities in general, often within the Ruhr district.

Through mentoring & counseling, as well as by creating safe(r) spaces, we try to strengthen empowerment(-processes) and pave ways to multiply society as a whole.

Also by sharing expertise in the technological and digital field, as well as offering and creating spaces for exchange and networking. The needs of our community are constantly changing and we want to meet them through cohesion and volunteer work. Our project focuses are: Empowerment & participation - Youth work - Tech & knowledge promotion - Adult education - Sustainable development.
