Other activities:

To me, ham radio means understanding among nations by profoundly communicating with all sorts of demographic groups and various cultures.

Our goal is to have fun and to learn. We also want to reduce prejudices by encouraging an open dialogue amongst the members of our ham radio club thus fostering not only the intercultural and academic exchange but also the cross-cultural understanding and scientific and technical learning. (This goal is also pursued by the UNESCO.)

I myself focus upon working with kids in schools and in the ham radio club.

Within the ham radio club, we came up with several projects for jung amateur radio men, for example:

• Kids' Day Europatag of the school radio stations

• SOTA Jugendpokal

• Jamboree on the Air – JOTA World Scout,

It should be added, that there are plenty more local and regional activities as for example Youngster Field Days, school vacation events, performing handicraft work as well as youth groups within the local ham radio club or as projects in schools.

With our youth work we encourage and foster appreciation, tolerance as well as respect for other human beings.
