Salzburg schenkt

"Salzburg schenkt" is a project aimed at bringing joy to asylum seekers in Salzburg, while also activating citizens to acknowledge their needs. The project's vision is to provide warm clothes for the cold winter and a warm welcome to their host country by giving gifts and welcome notes from citizens. The project encourages citizens to contribute by donating time and money to buy, wrap, and drop-off gifts or to volunteer to sort and distribute the gifts. The project aims to connect citizens with asylum seekers, fostering a sense of community and compassion while meeting the practical needs of asylum seekers.

Open Shapers

In order to stay connected within the disrupting times of Covid-19, the Global Shapers Salzburg Hub decided to host "Open Shapers" events. Open Shapers is an event-series home to inspiring conversations with pioneers, who share insights & know-how’s into the amazing work they do. Every first Wednesday of the month, Open Shapers aims to connect a diverse crowd of people, and facilitate conversations on thought-provoking topics. This with the main aim to provide a safe platform for people to exchange, and to bring the social impact ecosystem within Salzburg closer together.

Educate Your City

"Educate Your City" is a platform for hubs around the world to educate their respective cities about how to further the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The project aims to create a library of knowledge that can be accessed by citizens globally to learn about the efforts being made to support the SDGs and what they can do to contribute. The platform offers both free and paid courses, with the option for premium membership to access more courses and support hubs. The main objectives of the project are to provide free education to everyone and to give shaper hubs a platform to share their knowledge effectively in reaching the SDGs.

Leadership Program

The leadership program was hosted by "Diversity in Action (Vielfalt in Aktion)" in cooperation with The Global Shapers Salzburg, City of Salzburg, Salzburg Global Seminar and other partners. It was a five-part training program for 15 participants in 2020. The aim of the program was to impart skills in various competence areas and to further develop the participants' existing leadership skills. The program is aimed at people who are active in the field of diversity or have a migration background and want to actively work for better coexistence in society.

Black Lives Matter rally

We had a significant turnout, and the demonstration was peaceful and well-organized. Our team took extra precautions to ensure the safety of all participants, including mask-wearing and social distancing. The messages conveyed by the speakers and demonstrators were powerful and effective, highlighting the need for solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and the fight against systemic racism and police violence. The event had a positive impact on the local community and beyond, drawing attention to the ongoing struggle for racial justice. While there is always room for improvement, I am proud of what we were able to accomplish and am inspired to continue our efforts in the future.
