The Pigeon Plan e.V.

Über uns

Through the medium of Skateboarding, The Pigeon Plan e.V. provides workshops concerning art and expression for disadvantaged youth. In Bremen and Kiel local Skateboarders do Skateboard lessons for refugee children on a continuous basis. Different events (Kieler Woche, Vielfalt tut gut – Kieler Jugend für Toleranz und Demokratie) seek to share the cultural elements encompassing Skateboarding on the local and national level. The most recent participation in the cross - border project JUMP (Interreg), where four different production schools from Denmark and Germany accompanied by scholars from the University of Flensburg and Roskilde exchange experiences and work on future ideals to live in the region, is a great example on how intercultural exchange beyond borders works. The subculture Skateboarding offers various opportunities to empower young people with diverse needs coming from different cultural backgrounds.
