The new SOS Education and Meeting Centre is an open house that offers localized activities to the social environment of Moabit. As a communications platform aimed at developing social awareness through the direct, hands-on integration of experts, politicians and the general public, its influence radiates far beyond its immediate environment. It is a venue that sends a strong message of acceptance and mutual respect while providing a safe place for education and training to help people take an active part in the shaping of society. The new SOS Education and Communication Centre is designed to be a visible place for this process of integration and struggle for social participation.
