Queen Silvia inaugurates a Mentor International's program for young refugees in Konstanz. Ten refugees - mostly from Syria and Afghanistan - receive assistance from one of the volunteer mentors for a year through the Foundation.
The Mentor Foundation Germany started together with Geschwister-Scholl-Schule Konstanz on 27 September 2017 on the island of Mainau a mentor program with young refugees. Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden, who has started the worldwide initiative with Mentor International, took part at the start of the program. Together with partners from science and practice, as well as with other organizations, Mentor develops modern and innovative prevention projects for the adolescents in order to make them stronger for dealing with difficult situations in life.
At a workshop Queen Silvia met the young refugees as well as their future mentors and worked during the day with countess Bettina Bernadotte, the Chairman of the Management Board Mentor Foundation Germany and the Management Board of Mentor Germany.
