''MAKING HEIMAT'' in a multi-ethnic, -religious and -cultural society requires high flexibility, tolerance and openness towards others and promoting social equity and justice. It is also necessary to encourage the interdisciplinary institutions of public sector and societal actors to build a ''HEALTHY CITY'', where the citizens are characterised by complete physical, mental, and social well-being.
“Gerhard Mercator Graduate Programme Open-Mindedness, Tolerance and Public Engagement” offers me the suitable environment to further develop my experiences, exchange my views and explore more about cities of democratic societies.
