What is it about?
Appreciation of the Jury

Often, young refugees in theory have access to schooling, but in actual fact, they don’t, or it is too difficult. Politics does not consider them worthy of assistance. At PROSA, around 80 people work at making their access possible, for more or less or no money, and always critically aware of racism and sexism. In a wonderful, chaotically ordered manner, they run one school in two locations, dealing with individuals in a highly differentiated way, accompanying them in everyday life matters as well as doing integrative political work. The notable result to date is a first bunch of successful graduates under the new compulsory school curriculum for adults. An innovative, a beautiful mixture!
