OpenTransfer BarCamps

Social initiatives and organisations that work with unaccompanied and separated children and youth are too often forced to reinvent the wheel because of a gap in knowledge sharing among organisations. Together with the Stiftung Bürgermut, the Bertelsmann Stiftung developed a transfer concept to increase the exchange of good examples in Germany. In the process, good examples from different regions were brought together at BarCamps in a central location in North Rhine-Westphalia. This allowed for the identification of good practice solutions, networking opportunities, fostering cooperation and speeding up transfer processes.
