More and more Romanies come to Germany not only for one summer. In the meantime, 500 Romany extended families are officially registered in Berlin-Neukölln. They live in shabby, overexpensive dwellings and are unpopular in the neighbourhood. Many of the Romany children hardly speak a word of German, even after months of school attendance in Berlin. In the summer holidays a project takes care of these children and offers them playful learning – with great success.
Excerpt from the jury’s statement
Very sensitive – a cautious approach to the everyday life of the children.
