Our solution-oriented contribution
to an enlightened society
Rappers without Borders
Through our pilot project Rappers without Borders (German: Rapper* ohne Grenzen), we reach out to schools, welcome classes, and refugee initiatives to teach German to young refugees through rap. Our vision is to use music to help level the playing field for youngsters by helping them overcome linguistic, educational, and employment restrictions. Find out more about the story behind the project and how you can bring yourself in.
