Dirk Kurbjuweit at Blue Metropolis
Blue Metropolis Foundation :
Blue Metropolis is a charity organization whose mission is to bring together people of different languages and diverse cultural backgrounds sharing the pleasure of reading and writing. It thus allows the emergence of creativity and intercultural understanding. The Foundation produces an annual International Literature Festival and offers a wide range of educational and social programs year-round, both in classrooms and online. Reading and writing are used as therapeutic tools within the program to encourage academic perseverance, and fight against poverty and social isolation.
