Young heroines: Hafiza Qasimi wins sponsorship award for commitment to MV!
Rostock has a reason to celebrate: Hafiza Qasimi and the Youth initiative and the Fellerson Gut won the "Young Commitment for a World MV". The price, which is endowed with 500 euros each, was awarded at the opening of the “World Change” event series in the Rostock town hall. The aim of the price is to make the commitment of young people visible and to assess what is more necessary than ever in view of the challenges of our time.[Rathaus Rostock]
Hafiza Qasimi, the 26-year-old, who has lived in Rostock since 2023, is an inspiring example of perseverance and commitment. She fled from Afghanistan, where she worked as an artist and gave painting lessons for children and women. In Rostock she plans to establish an artist collective that is supposed to inspire young people for global justice and social change. Your initiative, which is committed to increasing the visibility of the migrant community, is supported by various actions and empowerment training[Rostock Town Hall].
A cultural point of contact
Gut Fellerson in Borrentin is not only a place for art, but also offers numerous art workshops for young families. Promoting such cultural contact points is an important step in developing creative potential and strengthening a sense of community.[Rathaus Rostock]
This year's “World Change” series of events bears the motto “A shared world?” And comprises around 70 different formats, including workshops, readings, film evenings and discussions. Over 40 initiatives and clubs coordinate these varied events together. The financing is carried out by commitment Global, the North German Foundation for the Environment and Development as well as various other supporters.[Rathaus Rostock]
Young commitment and global challenges
This initiative is part of a larger network that is also committed to young commitment in other regions such as North Rhine-Westphalia and Austria. In North Rhine-Westphalia, the network invites young people to get involved in a globally fair and sustainable world. People like Gifty, Feras, Klaas and Svenja come into play here who offer support in the development of ideas and are active in commitment fairs and workshops.[A world network NRW]
In addition, the “Global Districts” project from Südwind Tirol is launched in Austria, which is aimed at young adults between the ages of 15 and 30. The aim is to raise awareness and enable them to develop and enable them to develop local projects and to actively contribute in their communities. This also includes creative activities, workshops and digital campaigns to raise awareness of global justice.[Development.at]
This shows that the commitment of young people is an important building block for a fairer world. The initiatives in Rostock, North Rhine-Westphalia and Austria are outstanding examples of how collaboration and creativity can bring about real change. But that's just the beginning: collective efforts and a clear vision are crucial to continuing to advance social change and global justice in the future.
