Education
maiz’s educational activities are aimed at migrant women and youth in order to support them both linguistically and socio-culturally for the demands of everyday life as well as for the labor market.
Areas
maiz wants to create female space and offers spaces where women* can connect, share and gain further education. Our services are used by women from over 50 different countries.
We always understand our work, particularly in education and counseling, as promoting a process of self-awareness which supports women* to abandon the victim role and to fully participate as active protagonists in society.
The women* in our target group come from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Therefore, our work requires special approaches, methods, strategies and materials.
