Migrants and Minorities Network e.V.
Empowering youths since 2017
Leipzig - Germany
We are an empowerment network
Education, scholarships and fundings should be accessible by all young people - And this is exactly what the Migrants and Minorities Network in Leipzig, Germany, advocates for!
As a youth network we connect, exchange and thereby empower ourselves, furthermore we counsel youths with a non-academic and/or migration background in questions of education and international programs. Moreover, we ourselves organize international trainings courses and youth exchanges on topics such as anti-Racism, post colonialism, inclusion, sustainability and human rights.
Besides creating an informative website and counseling service, we are developing and implementing projects on inclusion, strategies to encounter discrimination, and active citizenship. Our core mission is to make education, learning opportunities as well as scholarships/fundings accessible for all youths, so they can build their personalities and professional careers. With our work, we want to empower disadvantaged youths to get engaged, realize their rights and duties as citizens, take responsibility in their communities, to develop a critical mind and media literacy, so they can take part in the societal change in order to encounter all current and future challenges. Global developments, such as climate change or the populistic trend in politics can only be tackled with cooperation and the inclusion of disadvantaged youths.

About Us
As Migrants and Minorities Network e.V. is organized as a peer network, its structure is based on the principle of basic democracy and equality.
All leading positions are elected by its members, all procedures are according to the organization’s constitution (Vereinssatzung) and to ensure transparency and accountability, regular meetings are organized (the management teams exchanges in a Jour Fixe monthly, and biannually a general meeting of members is initiated).
Even though responsibilities are clear and fair distributed, all members can actively participate on all organizational levels, as we see our organization as a catalyzer for learning, active citizenship, and empowerment.
As of 2023, a total of 14 active members dedicate their free time to leading the Migrants and Minorities Network on a voluntary basis, and around 20 other members volunteer temporarily or on a project basis.
Our local target group estimates 55-60 disadvantaged youths of Leipzig and its rural surroundings, of which we could empower 46 to join ERASMUS+ projects.
