Planned by the friends’ association, financed by Berliner Sparkasse, realised with the help of Fliegerwerkstatt: a large game with 30cm high figures has been created for the schoolyard of Ernst-Habermann-primary school.

We start with the workshop weeks
Together with our project partner ‘Arbeit und Bildung e.V.’, the programme ‘Practical training and basic qualification for young refugees’ is starting again this school year – funded by the Senate Department for Education, Youth and Family. During the orientation phase, all six groups come to the Fliegerwerkstatt for a week. The focus here is on arriving, getting to know each other and gaining initial professional orientation.
In the next stage, the young people come to the Fliegerwerkstatt three days a week after two school days or are on a work placement.
Get-to-know-you games on day 1 * Practice pieces at the workbench * Making work clothes with screen printing * Collaboration on ongoing larger projects: e.g. planting in the courtyard, welding a metal stand, partition walls for the hangars in Tempelhof * Daily cooking and lunch together.
Welcome Binta!

Festival furniture for public viewing at Tempelhof Airport
We have been building festival furniture for the public viewing on the apron of Tempelhof Airport for weeks.
So far, over 300 pallets have been used by the young people of the Fliegerwerkstatt – and there will be many more to build a total of nine seating islands for festivals.
Tickets for the Festival of Respect are available from Tamaja www.little-social-festivals! Be part of it! The European Championship kicks off on June 14!
Extension to the Luftschloss for the Atze Musiktheater
Lounge Areas for the Hangars 2+3
Our young people have designed and built a seating area for the emergency accommodation and reception centre in Hangars 2+3 at Tempelhof Airport. Together with the refugees from the hangars the modules were planned to create spaces where people can come together in small groups.
Our funding requests for this project were rejected – but thanks to our loyal donors, we can still realise such ideas. Many thanks for so much support!
GIRLS’DAY at the Fliegerwerkstatt
Joint project with the ‘Jugendbauhütte’
Five young people from the Jugendbauhütte have been coming to the Fliegerwerkstatt with their instructor since mid-February. Together with the participants in our temporary learning group, they are building sturdy carpentry benches. A great opportunity to bring young people together and let them learn from each other.
The Jugendbauhütte is a project of the German Foundation for Monument Protection and enables young people to do a voluntary social year in monument conservation after leaving school.
And this is what the finished carpentry trestles look like, assembled without screws or glue:
10 years of Fliegerwerkstatt at Tempelhof Airport
We are celebrating 10 years of Fliegerwerkstatt at Tempelhof Airport! A special milestone that continues to inspire us!
Ten years ago, we signed the lease and launched the Fliegerwerkstatt.
Our mission of a social return on investment that we can all achieve together to support young people has succeeded. The many supporters, donors and sponsors, our partners, the volunteers and the Fliegerwerkstatt team have made this possible.
We are infinitely grateful for all your support and trust and wish everyone
a peaceful and happy Christmas and a good start to the New Year!
