Welche Nachhaltigkeitsziele verfolgt dieses Projekt?
Primäres Nachhaltigkeitsziel
Warum zahlt das Projekt auf dieses Ziel ein?
We intend to involve other associations that actively promote the rights of migrants in Germany and take gender issues into account.

We want to give Kyrgyz artists a platform for their diverse voices, which are rarely heard in Berlin and the rest of the world.
