100 Stories – 100 Faces

Why

With our project 100 Faces – 100 Stories we want to attract attention to the fact that we are already a multi-cultural society and that borders exist not only between countries but also between young and old people, rich and poor, as well as between educated and non-educated, men and women … And furthermore people are confronted with their personal borders and the story they tell might be one of how they overcame this border or how they have to live with it. In any case we are looking for an experience that has been existential for this person.
