LOCAL HEROES

Updated Mar 2022
LOCAL HEROES portrays in words and pictures twelve very different people who have one thing in common: They are committed to improving participation and strengthening cohesion in the Wedding neighborhood around the Gesundbrunnen Elementary School and the Ballhaus Prinzenallee. The project puts these people in the spotlight and makes their special commitment visible to the public. In this way, LOCAL HEROES creates attention for personalities who really make a difference for the people around them.
The project is ongoing and we will keep portraying people from the neighborhood.
