Transaidency was founded to support people in crisis situations and develop sustainable ways of promoting social cohesion. One focus is the Middle East conflict. At the heart of this is the conviction that education is the key to self-determination and participation. It enables people to question prejudices, develop critical thinking and adopt new perspectives.
Projects such as «Build Bridges – Not Barriers!» create spaces where young people can discuss the Middle East conflict and its impact on our society from multiple perspectives. In these workshops, people from different backgrounds meet, exchange experiences and learn to embrace complexity. This promotes language skills, empathy and dialogue skills – abilities that are indispensable for democratic coexistence.
The »Trialogue» project is also particularly influential. A Palestinian woman and a Jewish Israeli visit schools together to talk to young people about the consequences of the Hamas massacre and the war in Gaza. The aim is not only to impart knowledge, but also to actively listen, contextualise and jointly search for constructive perspectives. Young people in particular learn here that controversial topics do not divide, but can promote understanding.
Another focus is the project «SAWA – Living Together, Growing Together». Here, the voices of young Palestinians in Germany are made visible. Protected spaces and trust-building provide opportunities for empowerment, dialogue and joint learning. Cultural events and workshops help to break down stereotypes and enable participation. This strengthens the diversity of Palestinian identities as a natural part of German society.
In addition to its educational work, Transaidency also provides humanitarian aid, currently in Gaza and for refugees from Gaza, as well as in Sudan. The focus is always on long-term perspectives, so that aid not only has an immediate effect, but also opens up hope and a future.
Transaidency sees education and aid as inextricably linked. The combination of theoretical knowledge, practical methods, biographical authenticity and concrete support creates learning and living spaces that touch and change people. Whether in the classroom, in workshops or in direct emergency aid – wherever Transaidency is active, it contributes to breaking down enemy stereotypes and strengthening solidarity.
