Lessan e.V.
Lessan e.V. concentrates on the cultural exchange between diverse ethnics. In order to help immigrants to integrate easier, they organize various activities such as the ‘world café’ where people can come together, talk about their problems, find help or just have a good time. They also organise many excursions in Hamburg.
Lessan is a group of highly motivated and creative young people from Hamburg with diverse cultural backgrounds (Turkish, African, Russian, Greek, Afghan). Their intercultural skills are an enrichment for every Exchange project.
Lessan carries also a special mentoring program: Each Lessan member has the possibility to have a personal mentor from their partner organization, the law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. One aim of this program is to help young people in school and other life issues.
