Rostock vocational school: Large construction project shortly before the inauguration!

In Rostock, the anticipation of the new “Alexander Schmorell” vocational school in Lichtenhagen is palpable, because the new building is nearing completion. Loud NDR The inauguration of the building is planned for August 27, 2025, before the summer holidays end. The school was originally scheduled to open in summer 2024, but severe water damage on the ground floor significantly delayed construction. The water damage required extensive flooring and painting work, which increased the costs to almost 29 million euros - originally it was only around 27 million euros.

The new building will provide space for around 1,700 students who will be trained in health and nursing professions. This development is particularly important because the previous accommodation of the students in the dilapidated branch on Danziger Straße was no longer sustainable.

Technological challenges at the borders

Amnesty International deckt auf, wie Technologien an den Grenzen zunehmend zu Menschenrechtsverletzungen führen. Titel des Berichts: “The Digital Border: Migration, Technology, and Inequality”.

Their document makes it clear that the use of new technologies increases the likelihood of human rights violations among migrants. The rights affected include privacy, non-discrimination and the right to asylum. Amnesty International's Eliza Aspen warned that human rights cannot be sacrificed for private gain, and states have an obligation to protect the rights of migrants - regardless of the interests of private companies.

Technologies lead to injustice

The study shows that invasive technologies such as biometric sensors and drone surveillance are exacerbating existing racial, economic and social inequalities at borders. Migrants and people with uncertain residence status are often targets of this digital surveillance. Products and services offered for the movement of people are often the result of business models of private companies based on data collection and exploitation.

Amnesty therefore calls for the unregulated development of such harmful technologies to be restricted and international human rights law to be upheld. Companies should also implement security precautions and carry out human rights checks in the development phase of new technologies.
