Who or what do we stand up for?

We are committed to the people in Dortmund's Borsigplatz district - especially

immigrants and the BVB community.
Our goal: to strengthen education, social participation and respectful coexistence
across cultures and religions.
To achieve this, we combine soccer culture with lived values and create an open

arise.
You can take part in ongoing projects with us - e.g.
music events, neighborhood cafés, exercise programs for children
children or intergenerational formats - and you can also start your own
ideas: in the creative lab on site or digitally via our "digital twin", which

How do we do that?

Get Involved & Help Shape the Community: You can contribute to existing projects
(e.g., youth work, language courses, neighborhood café, cultural
events) or bring your own project ideas to life.

Soccer & Values: We combine our passion for BVB with social
engagement, team spirit, and fair play—on the field and in life.

Education & Opportunities: We support young people through workshops,
tutoring, service learning, and collaborative projects with schools.

Intercultural & Interfaith: People from
different cultures and religions come together with respect and openness.

Digital & Innovative: With our “Digital Twin,” you can
plan, test, and present projects digitally as well.
