Students of the school supports 'One Billion Rising'

14 February is not only Valentine's Day, but also the day on which people all over the world dance and set an example against violence against women and girls. Under the slogan ‘Rise for Empathy’, the dance demonstration of the ‘One Billion Rising’ movement, which campaigns for an end to violence against girls and women, took place at the Brandenburg Gate. Demonstrations, flash mobs and other activities are organised around the world on Valentine's Day to draw attention to the problem of violence against women and show solidarity with those affected.

Despite intensive training and rehearsals over the past few weeks, the pupils at our school did not want to miss the opportunity to show their solidarity with a flash mob at school.
