Minor - Projektkontor

Minor – Projektkontor for Education and Research is a diverse, committed, and scientifically based organization that advocates for the support and integration of socially marginalized groups. Supported by an interdisciplinary and intercultural team, Minor works nationwide and transnationally in the areas of research, program and project consulting, further education, networking, and model project development.

• Research and Analysis: Minor focuses on current migration processes, radicalization prevention, media education, outreach counseling in social media, and vocational education. Projects like "Good Work in Berlin" promote the labor market integration of newcomers from the EU and develop innovative mediation forms between migrants and companies[3].
• Education and Integration: Minor combines educational, intercultural, and intergenerational approaches to strengthen the participation and inclusion of marginalized target groups. The project "Diverse Brandenburg" supports small and medium-sized enterprises in dealing with social challenges and promotes diversity-oriented personnel and organizational development[2].
• Securing Young Talent: Minor develops methods and educational models to successfully integrate socially disadvantaged youth into training. The project "Xenos inclusive" offers practical solutions for the integration of young people with a migration background and other disadvantages[4].

The main mission of Minor is to improve the situation of discriminated or disadvantaged groups such as migrants, socially disadvantaged individuals, prisoners, and people with disabilities. Minor aims to change social processes and structures in a way that promotes a tolerant and appreciative coexistence and counteracts conflicts. The organization clearly positions itself against all forms of discrimination and advocates for the appreciation of diversity[1].

Minor is engaged in numerous sustainability initiatives and projects:

• Promotion of Democracy: Minor works on strengthening democracy by promoting social participation, involvement, and democratic culture. Projects like "Democracy Promotion in the Transition System" and "Digital Participation" contribute to this[5].
• Inclusion and Diversity: Through projects like "Diverse Brandenburg" and "Xenos inclusive," inclusion and diversity in companies and society are promoted. These initiatives include workshops, educational projects, and social media campaigns aimed at fostering discrimination-sensitive interactions[2][4].
• Labor Market Integration: Minor supports the labor market integration of newcomers and develops strategies to ensure the social security and lasting success of these groups[3].

Minor is a recognized provider of political education and sees itself as a civil society actor contributing to the expansion and strengthening of democracy. Through its diverse activities and projects, Minor sets important impulses for a more inclusive and just society.
