In Berlin Station, under the motto The Source of Life (Der Quell des Lebens), the 1-week exhibition Change of Perspective (Perspektivwechsel) will be exhibited, presenting the results of a photography workshop with children from Iraq.

The workshop was conducted by photographer and social worker Sebastian Backhaus in collaboration with Un Ponte Per with children from different parts of Hamdaniyah, Northern Iraq, in 2019. Here, the participating children were taught essential skills of photography so that they could visualize their living conditions and wishes for their own future. The pictures, including the captions developed by the participating children, make the importance of promoting the perspectives of young people in such crisis areas particularly clear.

After the end of the fighting, armed conflicts leave behind divided societies as well as destroyed infrastructure. In order to create long-term peace, buildings must be rebuilt and social cohesion restored. Young people and their perspectives play a crucial role in this. The event on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), highlights BMZ's achievements in supporting young people in crisis contexts.
